Who is Parsen Brown?


Yes, it is this time of year again when most of Second Life turns into a Winter Wonderland. This brings me way back into my childhood in Germany when Winter looked like Winter with snow and frost and pine trees glistening. I am so glad I can recreate this in Second Life and never feel cold. 

In the meadow, we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, Are you married? We'll say, No man
But you can do the job
When you're in town

So, who is this mysterious fellow Parson Brown? Was he a real person? Winter Wonderland was written in 1934 by Felix Bernard. This popular song has inspired over 200 artists to perform this since its inception. I believe the reference to Parson Brown was just a poetic injunction so it could rhyme with 'town'.

Whatever it may have meant, you can pretend you are in a Winter Wonderland and conspire as you dream by the fire and face unafraid of the plans that you've made walking in a winter wonderland here at the Retreat. 

Maybe you will even run into Parson Brown along the way and he may ask you if you are married. Just say no sir, however, the Retreat does have a lovely chapel that you may consider for your venue of marital bliss if you so desire. I had several weddings here at the Retreat including a lovely Winter Wedding. Either way, the place is a wonderful and peaceful place where you can hang out and take pictures.

If you want to get all cozy and warm come on down to the Basement Club for some nightly music entertainment. We have DJs here M-F starting at 6PM SLT with a variety of music.

Don't forget this Thursday starting at 7PM SLT we will have OBLEE performing live. 

Now get ready to hear Holiday Music throughout Second Life and see a variety of Santas and Snowpeople. If you do run into Parson Brown, tell him I say hello.
