Crooners Anonymous

I just stumbled across this recording from several years ago that we slapped together one morning here in Moscow. Try to guess who's singing what part. Here's a clue: the people on the track are included in the photos below. Just click play here and wait a bit (it takes a while):

Ok, we made it to March! This is our 13th winter here (hard to believe!) and it is always a joy to make it to March. January and February are usually our toughest months. Today birds were singing and a little earth was showing under the icy cover of snow. A mosquito drowned in the spa today so I know its getting warmer (Wordsworth could make a poem for that, but I think I'll pass!). Mom is planning her hip surgery the week after my school lets out. She has been incredibly brave and stoic facing the impairment and it will be a challenge but very worth the pain of surgery and rehab. I am busy with 12 credits this semester (communications, Western civ., "personal development: college success", and intro to archaeology. (I decided to ease up and skip math this semester!!!). Dad is working hard as usual on his science: "Dust Storm in the Black Rock Desert" which I tease him is an excuse to do "field research" at Burning Man. Hope you are all enjoying the unfolding of spring, wherever you are in this great big world. Here's a photo I took last week near the summit.
