Back in 1972, singer/songwriter John Denver released an album (that's one of those big 33-1/3 RPM black vinyl things, for you young whippersnappers out there - <g>) called "Rocky Mountain High". One portion of the album, entitled "Season Suite" had ~five~ songs - four were named for the seasons, plus there was one more entitled "Late Winter/Early Spring" (with the subtitle of "(When Everybody Goes To Mexico)". Actually, here in New England one sometimes hears the joke that we actually have only ~two~ seasons - Winter and August - <g>. Fred
