The Day The Music Died Day?🎤♯♭⏺

On February 3,1959, Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly and J.P. Richardson were on an airplane as their bands were touring across the Midwest. Running into a thick winter storm over Iowa, their plane went down in a cornfield and the three musicians were all killed, along with pilot Roger Peterson. Rock ‘n Roll fans all over the US grieved the loss of these men, with several songs and movies being made in the years following.

In honor of The Day the Music Died

Punxsutawney Phil predicts six more weeks of Winter

While it is the 3rd of February over here in Australia, it's still February 2nd or Groundhog Day over in The States and I see that Punxsutawney Phil has predicted six more weeks of winter in the US.

Normally, I couldn't care less what Punxsutawney Phil has predicted, but this year I'll be heading over there in less than 4 weeks' time and will be staying in some cold cities before heading back to Australia.

A groundhog? Predicting the weather?

And since I'll be doing the most flying I have ever done in my life while over there, I don't like hearing about all these plane crashes in the news lately.

It's also World Play Your Ukulele Day in America still, so if you find yourself stuck in a rut, try learning to play the ukulele if you haven't mastered it already:-)

Grammy Awards Day

Ironically, while it is The Day the Music Died Day over here in Australia, it's Grammy Awards night in America, which we in Australia can view live over here on February 3rd.

February is National Haiku Writing Month?✍🏯🏣😒

UPDATE: February 3rd, 2025

Beyonce has never won
Album of the Year before

I wonder what my old "synchromystic" mate Chistopher Knowles over at 'The Secret Sun' blog has to say/write (for free that is) about the Grammys and Beyonce Knowles 'Album of the Year' win:-) 

Synchromysticism is

February is National Haiku Writing Month?✍🏯🏣😒

"National Haiku Writing Month, also known as NaHaiWriMo, is a delightful celebration of the art of haiku. It’s a time when people are encouraged to write at least one haiku every day for a month."

National Haiku Writing Month

South Park - Haiku: Season 2 E 11 • 09/02/1998

To be honest haiku and poetry interests me as much as the game of soccer interests the Plum character in the book (and TV series) that I'm reading at the moment ... which does contain the odd original haiku from the author.

National Serpent Day in the Year of the Snake?🐍

National Serpent Day is a day of reflection and coming to grips with our fears?

UPDATE: February 1st, 2025

I checked my blog stats as soon as I posted this post and saw that I had 88 hits from Hong Kong and 8 hits from my own country Australia.
888 is a very auspicious number in Chinese culture:-)

Dimboola?💒🔥🚒🎭

I saw a news story about the "Dimboola fires" and how a wedding venue called Little Desert Nature Lodge was burnt down by the fires.

I was under the impression that Dimboola was just a made-up town for the name of a stage play/movie that I had never watched until reading this news story about the Dimboola fires and finding out the movie was available to watch for free on Amazon Prime if you had a subscription, which I did, so I watched it.

Dimboola (1979)

'Dimboola' is one of the worst Australian movies I have ever seen ... and that's saying something, as I have seen a lot of bad Australian films.

The Dimboola Fire

Little Desert Nature Lodge (Facebook)

"Dimboola is a 1979 Australian independent film directed by John Duigan about a country wedding reception. It is based on the 1969 play of the same name by Jack Hibberd and was principally filmed on location in Dimboola, Victoria."

Darkly ironic that a Nature Lodge famed as a wedding venue just outside the town of Dimboola would burn down from a fire started on January 27th, 2025 (the Australia Day public holiday this year because the Australia Day fell on a Sunday) and 26 days after the passing of one of the movie's stars, Chad Morgan -
