It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring
Bumped his head and he went to bed
and he couldn't get up in the mornin'
Rain rain, go away, come again some other day.
Bumped his head and he went to bed
and he couldn't get up in the mornin'
Rain rain, go away, come again some other day.
In the twilight glow I see them
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again
Love is like a dying ember
And only memories remain
And through the ages I'll remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain
Some day when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand-in-hand again
In a land that knows no parting
Blue eyes crying in the rain
Now my hair has turned to silver
All my life I've loved in vain
I can see her star in heaven
Blue eyes crying in the rain
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again
Love is like a dying ember
And only memories remain
And through the ages I'll remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain
Some day when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand-in-hand again
In a land that knows no parting
Blue eyes crying in the rain
Now my hair has turned to silver
All my life I've loved in vain
I can see her star in heaven
Blue eyes crying in the rain

Thanks Philly
question everything
I wish it would rain down on me

Dickey Betts...
@JtC
Good pick JtC - but has Youtube tweaked their music somehow to make it sound tinny and crappy?
Betts and Johnny Rivers' Summer Rain both had the same lousy sound when attempting to listen to them. Well, we know YT is evil, but they keep managing to outdo themselves.
So many great songs on 'Realizations' - the 1968 album Summer Rain is on - Great versions of Positively 4th Street and Whiter Shade of Pale...
Fortunate to have that and the Dicky Betts on vinyl. Unfortunately, they're on another continent at the moment but at least memories have great sound quality.
The uploader...
probably transferred from vinyl with a low bitrate.
Not musical, but certainly
lyrical: Rutger Hauer's beautiful, final soliloquy from "Blade Runner".[video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNbJ45yyVcY]

Happy Friday all!
I gotta fly, just a drive-by so they don't get missed...
Just a few off the top of my head, revealing where it is at I guess...
Rain - Eric Johnson
Rainmaker - Traffic
The Rain Song - Led Zeppelin
happy trails!
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.
both - Albert Einstein
Rain?
Almost played this one yesterday:
And isn't rain just water?

FAA rain on Bezos' parade?
Who counts as an astronaut?? "Not Jeff Bezos, say new US rules."
Those who were around some time ago were familiar with the grueling training, physical and in-flight performance -- often years -- that NASA astronauts went through. Bezos and Branson did no more than don a spacesuit and take a little ride (oh, and write a lot of checks).
