| |  | Let It Snow - for Surfcottage
02:10
It's not every day that you meet someone who prefers the snowy days of winter over the summer's sun, but Surfcottage is one such person. I hope this more...helps her beat the heat by thinking cool thoughts. Unfortunately, winter will be here before we know it! ;) xoxoxo
Most of the pics are from winters in Ontario and Quebec, and of Vernon, BC's "Silver Star" ski resort.
Also, this is a "Snow Tag"!! I've tagged JUSTCALLMEHU and RhiannonRose, so watch for their wintry vids soon and get your snowy pics ready! Blame Surfcottage! ;) lol

|  | Java Jive - for TheCoffeeHouse
03:06
TheCoffeeHouse is expertly owned and operated by two of the nicest ladies on LV, CH1 and CH2, our favorite baristas. They make their rounds, watching more...vids and delivering steaming cups of coffee or tea made just the way we like it! This is my thanks to them for brightening the days of so many LVidians. The song is "Java Jive" by the Ink Spots, (1940). less

| |  | Alhambra
04:32
This piece of music, “Memories of Alhambra” by Francisco Tarrega, is played here by Canadian, Manfred Harter, whom I have had the pleasure to meet and more...who has played many wonderful arrangements for me. I knew nothing of the Alhambra, but as was the case with a previous piece of Manfred’s music, “Mystery of Tikal”, I wanted to know what it was that attracted him to this piece.
The Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex in southern Spain. It sits on a hilly terrace on the southeastern border of the city of Granada. Once the residence of the Muslim kings of Granada and their court, it was designed to reflect the very beauty of Paradise itself, with its gardens, fountains, streams, palace, and a mosque, all inside a fortress wall. It is now one of Spain's major tourist attractions and on my "Bucket List" -- those special things to see or do before I die. ;) less

|  | The Way I Feel
03:46
Another beautiful, haunting song in the Lightfoot Series. This one stars the American Robin and the stately, majestic Oak Tree. Please stop by the YT more...Tribute Channel at http://ca.youtube.com/user/thomasj157 to see the videos not presented here.
The Way I Feel (The Way I Feel) 3:02
The way I feel is like a robin
Whose babes have flown to come no more
Like a tall oak tree alone and cryin'
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare
Now a woman lord is like a young bird
And the tall oak tree is a young man's heart
Among his boughs you will find her nesting
When the nights are cool she is warm and dry
Your coat of green it will protect her
Her wings will grow your love will too
But all too soon your mighty branches
Will cease to hold her and she'll fly from you
Now the way I feel is like a robin
Whose babes have flown to come no more
Like a tall oak tree alone and cryin’
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare
When the birds have flown and the nest is bare

There could be only one subject for this wonderful Gordon Lightfoot song – a spider’s web. You must admit that there’s nothing quite as magical as a more...web when it’s intricacies are highlighted with the sunlight and the morning dew – except, or course, the web of Love.
Spin, Spin (Sunday Concert Plus) 2:29
So fine, so fine the web you spin,
I come too close and I'm caught again!
In a web of wild design,
I do not know what fate is mine!
All the day sit and spin,
You spin your web and you draw me in.
Spin, spin, spin, spin!
Well my daddy said when I was young,
"Beware the web of love, my son,
To be in love is to be insane,
Make an old man groan, a young man pain!"
All the day, sit and spin,
You spin your web and you draw me in.
Spin, spin, spin, spin!
Then I did grow and the time did fly,
Many a true love passed me by.
And then you came like a blinding storm,
I landed in your web so warm,
All the day, sit and spin,
You spin your web and you draw me in.
Spin, spin, spin, spin!
So fine, so fine the web you spin,
I come too close and I'm caught again!
In a web of wild desire,
And I cannot control the fire!
All the day sit and spin,
You spin your web and you draw me in.
All the day sit and spin,
You spin your web and you draw me in.
Spin, spin, spin, spin!
Spin, spin, spin, spin!

|  | Rockin' Down The Highway
03:22
"Cruise Nights" and outdoor car club shows are a great way to pass the time on a warm summer's afternoon or evening. All of these photos, with three more...exceptions, were taken locally over the past few years. Hubby loves old cars and I love to photograph them -- it's a match made in car heaven! lol Enjoy "Rockin' down the highway"! less

| |  | Same Old Loverman
03:27
When I heard this song the very first time, Elvis came to mind. I asked a few others and once again, Elvis was the first person to pop into their heads more...too, so, Elvis it is!
Same Old Loverman (Songbook) 3:21
I'm not some long lost someone
Just dropped in to say hello
It's that same old lover man
Baby you lost so long ago
'Cause I was born to believe
I never could deceive
Believe me
I hear no children's voices
Have they gone back to school
And that same old lover man
Is still acting like a fool
I guess I was born to bring you grief
Though I never was a thief
Believe me
It's cold outside your window
Please let me in, the night is wild
It's that same old lover man
Not some lonesome winsome child
An' I was born to believe
I never could deceive

|  | Miguel
04:15
Miguel, to me, is Gordon Lightfoot's "El Paso" -- the sad story of a hard life, bad decision, untimely death and an everlasting love. It was difficult more...to find "period" pics for this one, so I must thank Tj for coming to my rescue and providing some of them. That's what made this truly a "team" effort!
Miguel (Summer Side of Life) 4:12
Never had much to say
He traveled alone with no friends
Like a shadowy ghost
At dawn he came and he went
Through the woodland swiftly gliding
To the young maid he came riding
Where she'd run to meet him
By the garden wall
Oh my sweet Miguel
I will never tell
No one will ever know
What I know too well
And he'd smile and lay his head on her breast
And he'd say I have no fear
They're waiting for me to cross the border, to swim the river
‘Cause I've done that before
To see my true love's smiling face
A hundred times or more
Oh my sweet Miguel she cried
I'll love you ‘til I die
He was born to the south
In Mexico they say
The child of a man
Who was soon gone away
But his mother loved him dearly
And she would take him yearly
To the great cathedral in St. Augustine
Oh my young Miguel
Listen to the bell
Of my poverty
You must never tell
And he cried himself to sleep in the night
And he vowed to make things right
So he took the gun down from the wall and he paid a call
He knew she'd understand
A lawman came to capture him
The gun jumped in his hand
Oh Miguel the mother cried
You must run son or you'll die
So the story is told
Of his true love 'cross the line
As strong as the oak
And as sweet as the vine
And the child she bore him
Came on the fateful morning
When they sent him to his final rest
Oh my sweet Miguel
Listen to the bell
No one will ever know
What I know too well
Then she'd smile and lay the child on her breast
And she'd say I have no fear
I'm waiting for you to cross the border, to swim the river
'Cause you've done that before
To see your true love's smiling face
A hundred times or more
Oh my sweet Miguel she cried
I'll love you ‘til I die

| |  | For My Wonderful Crew
04:06
This tribute to my Crew is long overdue, and for that I must apologize. Many people drift in and out of our LV lives, but a few we are privileged to more...get to know better and share our lives with, even if only via the keyboard. These people are the people who have touched my heart by what they do, or more importantly, who they are as a person. I am honoured to have them as my Crew, and especially as friends. less

|  | Rag Mop - for Brob11 & his Boyz
02:43
This little slideshow is for my dear friend Bob (Brob11) and his "boyz". I thought these "smooth-coated" guys might get a kick out of seeing a video more...on the hairier members of the species. ;) The song is "Rag Mop" by The Ames Brothers, released in January, 1950 and 14 weeks on the charts, peaking at #1. Guest appearances by family pets: Penny, Barley, Jake and Cooper. Enjoy! ~~ Lynn xoxo less

| |  | The Last Time I Saw Her
05:17
Another incredible song in the Gordon Lightfoot Series. It's always interesting to find photos that depict the emotion and allow the viewer to experience more...the journey that the music and lyrics take us on. I'd like to publicly thank Tj (StonewallStudios) for always pushing me to make it that little bit better. I hope he never stops. ~~ Lynn

The Last Time I Saw Her (Did She Mention My Name) 5:10
The last time I saw her face, her eyes were bathed in starlight and her hair hung long
The last time she spoke to me, her lips were like the scented flowers inside a rain-drenched forest
But that was so long ago that I can scarcely feel the way I felt before
And if time could heal the wounds, I would tear the threads away that I might bleed some more
The last time I walked with her
Her laughter was the steeple bells
That ring to greet the morning sun
A voice that called to everyone
To love the ground we walked upon
Those were the good days
The last time I held her hand, her touch was autumn, spring and summer, and winter too
The last time I let go of her, she walked away into the night
I lost her in the misty streets, a thousand months, a thousand years
When other lips will kiss her eyes
A million miles beyond the moon, that's where she is
But that was so long ago that I can scarcely feel the way I felt before
And if time could heal the wounds, I would tear the threads away that I might bleed some more
The last time I saw her face, her eyes were bathed in starlight and she walked alone
The last time she kissed my cheek
Her lips were like the wilted leaves
Upon the autumn covered hills
Resting on the frozen ground
The seeds of love lie cold and still
Beneath a battered marking stone
It lies forgotten
