Liner Notes

#Skirmish #point-counterpoint #rockabilly #snow Well, those of us on the East Coast are beginning to get slammed by a Nor'easter. And it was less than three weeks ago I bemoaned the lack of snow in Colorado, on this very platform https://fawm.org/songs/320429 So, karma is not instant, but sometimes happens! Here's my point-counterpoint to my own song, in the same rockabilly style, but this time playing all the instruments and channelling my inner Elvis. Pass me a peanut butter, banana and bacon sandwich, please!

Lyrics

What the Heck? Here's the Snow © 2026 raspberry33 skirmish response to https://fawm.org/songs/320429

(verse) It was just three weeks ago, Febuary 5th When I wrote a song entitled “where’s the snow” Colorado was nice and warm, the snowcaps on the Rockies, gone But I think I might have shot off my big toe.

(Chorus) Where’s the snow, I asked It ain’t in Loveland Pass Though I left two feet behind in Western Mass Where’s the snow, what the heck Is it winter, let me check I never should have written “Where’s the Snow”

(Verse) Well, now I’m back home where I ought to be With a big Nor’easter aiming right at me Snowfall one to two feet, maybe three Yes, I jinxed myself and now I’m gonna see

(chorus) Where’s the snow? What the heck? Well, I never should have asked Cause a lot’s about to fall in Western Mass From Delaware to Maine, we’re all in for some pain Where’s the snow? Oh…. Uh, nevermind…

Bridge: Be careful what you ask for when it’s 65 degrees A butterfly in Bangalore just caused a girl to sneeze The weather pattern’s changing, it’s harder to predict I’ve got my shovel ready, looks like it’s starting to stick

(Chorus) Where’s the snow? What the heck? Well, what did I expect Cause a lot’s about to fall in Western Mass From Delaware to Maine, we’re all in for some pain Where’s the snow? Oh… It’s coming down now!

This was an awesome take on the prompt. Funny and groovy.

Fun song in the "Be careful what you wish for" mould. Love the fifties country feel to the arrangement

We had two years of drought in the Iberian Peninsula. Images of various Virgin Marys were being paraded through Spanish streets pleading with her to intercede and let us have some rain. Then, in the last two months, we have had two years worth of rain!

This is a lot of fun. Some lovely funny lines in there and I love the boogey woogie feel to it as well. Karma eh? Good skirmishing!

Ok, so we can blame you for this latest snow emergency?! Cool style with the piano as the main rhythm instrument.

I wish I could take credit for the weather. Just think - monthly subscriptions from the ski resorts; you want a factory knocked down by a tornado...no problem, half up front and half on delivery. Piano is my main instrument and "go to" in skirmish time because my guitar work is seldom one-take.

This has a barroom shared-experience effect, at least for me as I look out the window and see the initial coating of snow falling during the skirmish. I like the retro good-time sound to go with the timeless clash of perspectives.

Oh this is such a great jazzy toe-tapping feel and so much fun! And yes karma is karma! Awesome vocals! Enjoy the snow!
