    I'm usually very happy when the holidays are over, so I don't get the blues.

    I'm still not over the ones from last year.

    And last week was not post-holiday. I am referring to January 2020.

    If you've not heard this, you've GOT to give this a listen!!


    Dwight Yoakam's   "Come  On Christmas"



    My very favorite "modern" Christmas song. Dwight Yoakam wrote and performed such a GREAT song in my opinion! Such a downer yet it makes me SO happy listening. Great  trumpet solos, too.
    :)








    EDIT: Like SpunkySenior, I tend not to get certain-kinds of blues - - I'm an equal opportunity type of blues guy -- open to them  all the year round.  :)

    That sounds like a funeral dirge.

    You're right. :)

    I love all kinds of music, yup! And, so often, like I alluded to in my answer, much music that is purposely on the sad/ downer side, just lifts me up SO much in my enjoyment of its, to me, beauty. :)

    I listen to Yoakam's song all year round.

    I sense that something is wrong with that.

    Unsure if you meant it was wrong what I said about sad music or listening to Yoakam's song any time (I'm a fan of his in general).  Both may be wrong for others but neither is wrong for me. :)

    For two examples, Gorecki's "Symphony No. 3: Symphony of Sorrowful Songs" and Barber's "Adagio for Strings" - - both breathtakingly beautiful to me -  both "emotionally" very sad - - but so good to me that they excite me and I glory in the music.

    Here's to hoping both will post, ha. :)

    EDIT: Also, I prefer gray cloudy weather over day-after-day of sunny blue sky weather, ha!  :)

    Well, a day later - - both videos are gone. Oh, well.
    :)

    Maybe you were right all along, Element 99 - - it's wrong for me to enjoy such music, ha!  :)

    And now I realize I've been replying to myself. 

    Oh

      Welby, I’ve had it happen with some of my posts also that photos mysteriously don’t show one occasion and the next time I look, they do show. It originally happened about two or three weeks ago, it lasted a few days, then it didn’t happen again until this past week. I don’t know what’s causing it. 


    Oh, and about answering your own posts here, I hope you realize they say it’s the first sign . . .

      I’m the exact opposite: I can’t stand all the fakery surrounding and surrounded by the “holidays”.  Annually, I revel in the passage of that time period.

    No. But I had a pretty serious case of the back-to-work blues yesterday.
