Happy Spring!

Add a quick listen to JFJO's "Vernal Equinox" to your celebration!

Enjoy!

Yes! Happy Spring! (The best of seasons, in my opinion)

Enjoy one of only two days per year with equal sunlight and nighttime. Also, I think the sun actually rises in the east and sets in the west today. Any astronomy experts here?

I had plans to be in Thailand this week, but the ice storm cancelled those plans after sitting on the runway for 4.5 hours. However, I am happy to be in the northern hemisphere with all of you to celebrate the vernal equinox!

Equinox is a cool tune!

According to the following sources, spring starts today 3/20 at 7:07 PM EST:

Other sources say it's just after midnight -- hey that's another great tune, After Midnight by J.J. Cale (E.C.)

Anyway, who's right about the start of spring this year, eh? Come on . . .

that's tomorrow!

edit: i guess we're both right. according to the encarta site, it's tonight for us folks in the eastern time zone, but for planet earth it's at 12:07 tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the tunes you guys!! Haven't finished listening to them all yet. Can we continue discussing must hear archive material? I myself don't get on there enough not to get overwhelmed by all the beautiful things, especially with the dead being stream only and all.
