"RABBIT, RABBIT”. It's the first day of March.
Skies have been full of mischief, bringing extremes down to the earthly realm. New England bounces from 'sunny & warm’ to measuring snow by the foot! While there were blizzards, floods and power outages in Southern California... sun bathers were basking in 80+ degree days on the Mall in Washington DC!
“Rabbit, Rabbit”... Please grant our wish, We are in need of some lucky ’normal’ weather days. (see Farmer’s Almanac article about the “good luck” myth at the end of today’s message.)

Jazz pianist plays the Beatles.
Brad Mehldau, whom Andrew Marantz just called "arguably the greatest working jazz pianist. Top five, for sure," in The New Yorker. Nonesuch Records tomorrow issues Mehldau's long-awaited album of Beatles covers, Your Mother Should Know. He's always mixed the band's songs into his wide-ranging work, but this album is the live version of a 2020 all-Beatles concert he gave at the Philharmonie de Paris after the concert hall asked him to follow up a highly successful all-Bach program.
Thanks to Rob Gurwitt for calling this to our attention in the Upper Valley’s daily “DAYBREAK” newsletter. LINK TO SUBSCRIBE TO DAYBREAK
