It's the coldest day of the fall. Strong winds, -34 deg (C/F about the same). Winter begins in a couple of days and the days start getting longer. Yea!

It's a 'bone-chilling 63F here. Now, before you spit your coffee-or whatever-that's with a 27-30 mph northeast wind, with gusts up to 45ish, and 90% humidity. It soaks right through most Florida wear. A waterproof 'breezebuster'* is all ya really need but most are only water resistant.Nice

Send some of that coolness down this way, Captain. That'd be twice as nice We're having a heatwave.

Staying Alive could be a theme song for this little passage. It's certainly a challenge.We had ours May-October.
Around here, they recommend that people w/o ac go to malls. etc during the hottest part of the days.

They tell us in these days of extreme weather to check in on our elderly neighbors. That old bat next door who is too lazy to pick up the week's worth of mail on her porch hasn't asked after my well-being yet.

Do fans help cool you down in a heatwave, or just make it hotter? Another bent banner from dear old auntie. She's become quite dense in her post truth phase — decades of dodgy mascara and low budget lippy has finally creamed her constitution.
It seems all too obvious, dear lady. We sweat to cool down — my family, like most poms, drink tea habitually, piping hot, in the middle of summer, in order to cool down
As it happens, tea tricks the constitution into thinking it's being flambéd so its natural response is to produce loads of sweat. That sweat, aided by a stiff breeze, natural or otherwise, transports the heat out into the atmosphere, away from the core, and does cool you down.
It's a pretty round about way of getting the job done, though. We aren't the smartest of creatures. Taking a quick dip makes more sense, or applying cloud juice any old how. It's truly a magic way to cool down, I'm here to tell ya. But a good old cuppa still serves

Well, that's certainly different! Wonder what the instrumentation was?
It really is horrid stuff. I remember kids wanting the snow to come so they could downhill ski or play hockey. I was more into playing hooky.
Get some instructions regarding how to voluntarily piloerect. Sounds amazing. That's gotta be a mild superpower, BoT. I enjoy the phenomenon, but I have to stand , mid winter, knee-deep, at least, in the ocean with a surfboard tucked under my arm.
I need now to go in the opposite direction. As a matter of fact, I think I am.
Not sure but it is interesting given the time.
The version was released in 1976. It was pre digital synths explosion of the 80’s with instruments such as the Yamaha DX7 or the Fairlight. Slightly too early for the Oberheim.
In the mid 70’s, I recall the Moog, ARP, and EMS. Pedals were also used. Rich analog sounds.
Don't forget the Mellotron, the worlds first sampler with a partitionable keyboard.
Since you could record and splice your own tape loops for it, unique sounds could be had by recording an instrument at half speed, double, or any achievable percentage of the Mellotrons tape speed.
This would yield sounds with drastically altered dynamic envelopes.
