I have been asked to post the Weekend Music Thread, so here it is! The theme is “Water.”
During the summer months, so many of us head out to the beach or to the lake, or just sit around thinking of cool, cool rains…
When I mentioned this idea on the O/T thread, several people had good suggestions for songs, including:
It Never Rains in Southern California by Albert Hammond
The Beatles’ “Rain”
“The Rain Song” by Led Zepplin
Gene Kelly’s Singing in The Rain
Fire and Rain by James Taylor
And these are just confining the topic to rain itself! Expanding the idea to the more general topic of “water” makes the possibilities nearly endless. Water in a bathtub, water in a glass, or even the raging sea (as I’ve painted in the intro picture, a copy of Turner’s Shipwreck.)
Brook Benton–Rainy Night In Georgia;
And Handel’s “Water Music” as part of our out door wedding

Well, nostalgia, “Old Man River” Always something to learn from these lyrics.

Whatever happened to these guys? Totally held up over time. Brings back many fuzzy acid-laced memories.
Slightly o/t- my friend is a kayaker in WA. They found these experts conducting a surfing school! 😉
Love It!
Cute.
This is in no way, not in the least pagan. No, not at all.

The gambit flow of shifting thought,
Shall ride a kiss upon my cross,
And with each moment of despair,
Lay to heart a lovely tear.
Within each bulb the salty sea,
Swims an ocean silently,
Swims the forest of my dreams,
Swims the essence of my being (…I call me)
I shot this just over a minute long video at a park by the water tonight, so it counts, couldn’t resist, the kid was having so much fun dancing to the music. http://www.youtube.com/user/zenith1959#p/a/u/0/BBUFNbSNqDk
Fun stuff!
