“It’s been a long, cold, lonely winter.” OK, so obviously the phenomenon of global warming didn’t exist when The Beatles came out with “Here Comes the Sun,” their classic ode to natural light and hope, back in late 1969.
But climate change and the Fab Four aside, things in the arts community do tend to pick up and bloom in the wake of winter and with the arrival of the first seedlings of springtime. And we say, it’s alright!
