Giant Robot Eraser
by Rob Lynch and Jonathan Hughes
the idea was for some kind of better than perfect, plastic, as-seen-on-tv type savior to come and offer solutions for the stresses of the winter season. FINALLY! Or it could simply be about a plow. A really solid plow. John Deer level performance.

Long Way Home
by David Mussen
I don’t know why, but it took me a long time to write this song, even though it’s fairly simple. The whole band sounds so warm and smooth and effortless.

Northern Lights
by Cathy Carfagna
I’d thought about writing a song about the northern lights in Canada for awhile. Then I read that Cochrane, Ontario is a good place to see them, and that got me hauling out the atlas (I love songs with place references). The Spanish River and Lac Sainte Therese (sorry, bad pronunciation) are located in Ontario too. The reference to Inco (mining/metals company) is a tip of the hat to Canadian songwriter Stompin’ Tom Connors’ “Sudbury Saturday Night,” – and to the dad of a musician friend, who’d talked about the tough conditions there.

Hot Cocoa
by David Mussen
My dad turned me on to Bob Wills and Milton Brown records when I was a kid, and always loved them. This is my attempt at something reminiscent of the Western Swing style. Everyone sounds real nice on this one. Although, I don’t don’t drink hot cocoa myself, I’m glad to live in a country where I can, with very little effort, drink hot cocoa, pretty much anytime I want.

It Doesn’t Snow in Buffalo Anymore
by Rob Falgiano
The last two Buffalo winters have been so mild. I used my snowblower twice each season, when the usual average was a dozen times or more. So this song imagines a future (or near present) Buffalo with almost no winter snow due to global climate change.
