ROCKOLLECTIONS: APRIL SHOWERS- LET IT RAIN PT.4

[Mike Pell]

Before anything else, let's all remember Dick Clark.

He did a lot for Rock & Roll and always seemed like a decent guy to me.

This show will note his passing as soon as I get the opportunity.

Continuing with our April Showers series, I'll get a little serious regarding Farmers.

Too little Rain or too much Rain and you are in a world of hurt, it's a tricky balance.

Don't make enough money, you might lose your farm!

After that, a lighter touch as we lay back and groove while it rains and we dream.

Plus there is no finer time for romance (or even more if you handle it right, and find a willing partner) than a Rainy Day...well maybe a Snowy Day...but we get more Rainy ones, lol!

And I'll have one of my very favorite Rain songs from the brilliant wordsmith John Sebastian with the Lovin' Spoonful.

Sweet, happy, and saying so much in its brief simplicity- right up Sebastian's alley.

Lastly, I want to let you know that Sunday, April 22nd is April Showers Day!

As the sign above says, enjoy the Day- I'm doing my part, lol!
The Showers and Rain will continue next week.

Ok, I did listen to this today and I liked it but cannot remember one song. On a previous post I had listened but got bogged down with something and didn't catch everything. This one I did listen intently and CANNOT REMEMBER WHO WAS ON THE LIST!!!

Wasn't Supertramp (yes, I do hate that song, but it is about rain) and Kansas so I'm going to have to listen again tomorrow.

Umm...sorry for wasting your time.
