Shouldn’t you be filling sandbags or sending sand to the east coast or something?
I like it tho, and will be listening to much of it tonight!
Oct 29, 2012 @ 22:09:06
Hopefully we’re inland enough to not do sandbags. Hope you’re clear of the harsh stuff too.

SUPERB list. Made 5 inches of rain worth it … Excellent stuff here from BlogBoss Ed. Loved reading the list and remembering the tunes. I love “Ashes the Rain and I,” and also very glad to see “Rainy Day Dream Away” here. Among other great ones. Good CCR, the Dude would be happy.
“Love Reign O’er Me” would be on my list.
Mercifully, the list omits icing melting in the rain … .

And now I’ll admit I didn’t know either “Ashes…” OR “Rainy Day”. Giving both a listen now…
Oct 30, 2012 @ 22:48:47
Oh, MacArthur Park. Yeah, I hate that song.
Oct 30, 2012 @ 22:50:03
Yes! “Ashes, the Rain & I” is on my Joe Walsh compilation.
Oct 30, 2012 @ 23:20:53
I added “Love Reign O’er Me”
