ROCKOLLECTIONS: APRIL SHOWERS- LET IT RAIN PT.6

When I was recording this second half of the show, it actually was RAINING!
A real downpour- the kind you want to walk in...well, maybe not, lol!
And April Showers has since been living up to its name.
I had decided to go Folk in this chapter beforehand, and that Sweet Rain made it so much more enjoyable.
Included in this episode is one of my Go-To-Guys...TWICE!
The urgent thought, during the old Cold War, of Rain as Song Metaphor for Nuclear War and Radioactive Fallout- hang on to something if you have never heard these- the poetic words will come fast and furious!
A Randy Newman song dripping with sadness and sarcasm, I'll be playing my favorite version interpreted by someone who may surprise you.
Followed quickly by one that will pick you right up and make you feel glad you have those good times, bad times, true friends.
All the ingredients that are usually contained in these shows are here, but with a Folk & Folk/Rock bent.
I will give Rain a rest next week, then continue the following one with what I think will be the Series Finale- although man, I have so many Rain Songs left!
Next week, it's Off To The Races.
But first, give this one a listen- a close, get-back-to-when-the-lyrics-mattered listen!
You won't be disappointed.
