Stormy Weather
 

Good thoughts going out to all the Californians weathering that big storm. Stay dry and stay safe.

I'm waiting for BIG. It would be nice to get some nice hard rain.

Oh, and to go with the weather, here's Martha Wainwright doing a SMOKING version of Stormy Weather.

It's pouring here- I have my door open, and I love the sound

I'm even listening to Eddie Rabbit - "I Love A Rainy Night"

OMG, those Wainwrights. They're all so talented. Thanks for pointing me in the direction, NA; I'd never heard Martha before but I do so love her parents and her brother.

I saw Rufus do Judy at the Bowl a few months back and the whole family was there (sans Dad). Martha did "Stormy Weather" as well as "Someone to Watch Over Me" and blew my right out of the Bowl. I had to miss her a few days later in a solo concert and i was very disappointed. She usually does more folk style music, but she does a great job of channeling Judy (as does her brother).

I love the sound of the rain too, but nooooooo, not Eddie Rabbit!

My favorite rain song.



I had to watch it twice to get the Rabbit out of my head.

Riders on the Storm - The Doors

I had a moment of Synchronicity tonight driving home in the rain - the traffic not bad and NPR doing a feature on Jane Siberry (now known as Issa). They played her duet with k.d. lang - Calling All Angels, which I've know from the UNtil the End of the World Soundtrack - which for reason's unknown to me, is my favorite soundtrack to listen to while driving in the rain, and this song, the favorite of the soundtrack to listen to in those conditions. It made me smile and feel very happy in the rain.

Rosemary Clooney doing Come Rain or Come Shine.

And Ann Peebles "I Can't Stand the Rain".(I actually love the version of this song on The Commitment's Soundtrack.)

Dusty Springfield "I Think It's Going to Rain Today"
