We're now about eight hours from the expected arrival of the full strength of Hurricane Sandy. The Federal Government has shut down for the day, our Metro rail and bus system has shut down, and things are temporarily quiet. It's been raining steadily since yesterday evening - not the torrential rains we'll be getting later*, but a steady downpour to get us in the mood. So far, no winds beyond stiff breezes*. Even the presidential wannabes have calmed down the rhetoric to avoid charges that they're taking advantage of the situation.
Oy.
So ... how about a little rain and wind music?
Glenn Yarborough reminds us that Baby, the Rain Must Fall ...
We can listen to Rain on the Roof with The Lovin' Spoonful ...
Don't Let the Rain Come Down with The Serendipity Singers? Too late! ...
We may as well start Singing in the Rain with Gene Kelly ...
Or we could go Walking in the Rain with The Ronettes ...
It's Monday, and it's raining ... how about Karen Carpenter singing about Rainy Days and Mondays?
And let's not forget the Four Strong Winds with Neil Young ...
What are your favorite rain and wind songs? Leave a comment to let us know!
Have a good day. Stay safe and dry. More thoughts later, as long as the power's on.

* Five to 10 inches predicted so far.

"Fire and Rain," by James Taylor.
ReplyDeleteI like "Rainy Days and Mondays" too.
ReplyDeleteI hope everything goes well for you and yours.
When your house winds up looking like the Serendipity song I'll come and help you rebuild. I have veeery resonable rates.
ReplyDeleteGreat tunes Bill to listen while at my desk.
