I have a song that I’d like to listen to at the end of the year.
I will introduce my favorite “Snowfall” and “A Fountain In Havana”.
年末になると思い出すことがあります。
9年前の年末に東京から札幌に転勤で引っ越しをしました。
そして5年前の年末に東京に戻りました。
北海道での引っ越しでは雪がいつも降っていました。
雪の怖さも何度か経験しましたが、自宅の窓から見る雪の風景は忘れられません。
そんな訳で私のお気に入りの「Snowfall」をブログに添付しました。
又、最後にこの曲の原曲となったと思われます「A Fountain In Havana」もご紹介します。
