I don’t know about you, but I am so happy that the days are getting longer again. Although it’s not officially spring yet, the crocuses in my yard are telling me that it’s just around the corner. Karen came out to my house and planted some garlic in my garden last fall and I was so thrilled to see it coming up. Unfortunately, so were my chickens. They broke through the fencing I had put up and devoured every bit of green. Sigh.
Aside from that, there are many fun things happening this month…
I had a lot of fun talking with Joy Ann on her Matured Musicians show. Here’s a link in case you missed it.
Let me start by saying that I didn’t name this band as a tribute to the cannabis culture. I knew that 420 had that connotation but I didn’t really care. I’ve always had a thing for birds and crows are a favorite. Although technically not blackbirds—they are black birds, and I liked the idea of invoking their mystique as part of the band image. So, stealing from a classic 1744 nursery rhyme, Sing a Song of Sixpence, the band became 4&20 Blackbirds. I didn’t give the weed reference much thought and proceeded to work on my logo. My then 14-year-old daughter came in to see what I was working on and said, “isn’t 420 a marijuana reference?” I stared blankly at her and said, “how do you know that?” She rolled her eyes and replied, “Mom, everyone in middle school knows that.” (Sigh)
