“A ROSE”(In the snow) – by Des Kelly

Shirley Myers of Canada wrote the song, presumably with boyfriend, Rod Nicholson & recorded it, many moons ago, in Nashville. The Song, Artiste, Recording, in total, has not got the recognition it truly deserves. Shirley has a “true” Country voice, simple, still beautiful, the song, presumably written by herself & boyfriend, Steel-guitarist Rod, is exactly what a good “Country-Song” should be, totally listenable, beautiful “life-like” lyrics & a recording that I love.

All my readers of eLanka are now aware, that when I pick a “song”, any song, vocal or instrumental, it will be the very best that 75 years of experience in the “Music” business can muster. I KNOW a good song, & “A rose in the snow” is certainly one of them.

In addition, this song, & “story” are dedicated to another “Rose”, whose name was “Dawn”. I have written many things about her, including a “song” “Another Dawn, another day” which features on a CD, presented by eLanka, so, suffice to say, that the day Dawn was born, in Ceylon, I would personally say “It was the Dawn of the Day of Roses”, on Tuesday the 15th of June, 1943.

The most beautiful “Rosebud of Ceylon”, came into being, on that day, only to leave us on Thursday, the 29th of March, 2016, in Canada, very nearly two years ago. One thing is for sure. There are two families who will NEVER forget you Dawn, yours & mine.

After I wrote ” Another Dawn, another day”, with the strange quirk that some songwriters seem to have, I wrote another, entitled simply, “Wait for me”, which is also featured on eLanka, on the “Especially for you” set of three.

I will now dedicate this song to Dawn, as well, but my good readers will have to understand that this song was not recorded in Nashville, like the beautiful “Rose in the snow”, as I would have preferred it to be done, it was recorded by myself, at home, with simply a “Keyboard” self-backing. It doesn’t matter, because, all I can finally say is “I miss you, honey, you liked my songs anyway, so, wait for me.
