February 2026 - Toronto ON

 Hosted by Tom The Backroads Traveller

John gave me the idea for this week's song, as he was singing it one morning last week.

COLDER WEATHER

She'd trade Colorado if he'd take her with him

Closes the door 'fore the winter lets the cold in

And wonders if her love is strong enough to make him stay

She's answered by the taillights shinin' through the window pane

[Chorus]

He said, I want to see you again

But I'm stuck in colder weather

Maybe tomorrow will be better

Can I call you then?

She said, you're ramblin' man

And you ain't ever gonna change

You've got a gypsy soul to blame

And you were born for leavin'

[Verse 2]

At a truck stop diner, just outside of Lincoln

The night is black as the coffee he was drinkin'

And in the waitress' eyes he sees the same old light is shinin'

He thinks of Colorado and the girl he left behind him

[Chorus]

He said, I want to see you again

But I'm stuck in colder weather

Maybe tomorrow will be better

Can I call you then?

She said, you're ramblin' man

And you ain't ever gonna change

You've got a gypsy soul to blame

And you were born for leavin'

Born for leavin'

Well, it's a windin' road

When you're in the lost and found

You're a lover, I'm a runner

And we go 'round and 'round

And I love you, but I leave you

I don't want you, but I need you

You know it's you that calls me back here, baby

The mood in February

The Curtis Denver CO

September 2017 - Denver CO

The Curtis Hotel, owned by Hilton.

On the elevator.

We were on the 9th floor.

Imagine a place where Marge Simpson and the Barbie crew all spend quality time together. That’s what you will find on the “Big Hair” floor, which celebrates the elevated culture of hair and its influences.

The 13th floor, appropriately named Dun Dun Dunnnnn, has a Freddy Krueger silhouette coming at you when you arrive. 

The quote on the mirrors in the hallway said “The call is coming from inside the hotel,” from the 1979 thriller When a Stranger Calls.

Posters of classic films along each theme line the hallways.

Vanilla Ice, The Sugarhill Gang, Men With Hats…our “One Hit Wonder” floor has them all.

Laugh floor

Each floor had a telephone with a card saying "wow, a phone with a cord".

The Do Not Disturb sign.

Restaurant restroom signs.

Washrooms in the lobby.

John checked out the garage.

The restaurant.

Another elevator.

We did not use the wake up call service – you can choose to be woken up by Elvis Presley or Austin Powers.
