Given that the forecast calls for the first #snow of the season in #RochesterNY on Sunday night, I am obliged by personal tradition to repost this glorious arrangement of snow from the movie White Christmas as performed by the excellent and immensely talented Florida based vocal group #Voctave. Enjoy, and may we have a lovely night of snow.

"Cathy's Clown" is a #popular #song, written by #DonEverly and recorded by #TheEverlyBrothers in 1960. The lyrics describe a man who has been wronged and publicly humiliated by his lover: "Here he comes / That's Cathy's clown". The #choruses are sung by brothers Don and Phil in their trademark #closeHarmony style, while Don sings the #bridges solo. "#CathysClown" is noted for its unorthodox structure, such as beginning on a chorus and having bridges but no #verses.

A dear friend of mine once put this song on a mixtape. A great way of introducing this band to me.

The Everly Brothers is the 1958 eponymous debut album of close harmony singing duo the Everly Brothers.
"Wake Up Little Susie", song No. 311, was controversial enough as to be banned in Boston with its story of a teen couple who fall asleep during a boring film and wake far past curfew.
In a retrospective review for Allmusic, Richie Unterberger writes of the album "Although the Everlys hadn't quite fully matured as artists, their debut is a fine, consistent effort divided between original material and respectably energetic covers of early rockers by Little Richard, Gene Vincent, and Ray Charles."
