The Rainy Days Of Jersey

Well, this is something I haven't done in awhile-write a new blog. Hell, seeing as I'm the only one who writes and (occasionally) reads them, what's to hurry about? But seeing as we're now in the midst of another rainstorm that's making this the wettest NJ March since 1983, what better to blog about than my strong suit, namely music?

What would be the ultimate songs for a Rainy Day CD or MP3 mix? I think these make the grade easiest:

Singin' In The Rain-Gene Kelly

Rainy Day, Dream Away-Jimi Hendrix

One More Rainy Day-Deep Purple

Rain On The Roof-The Lovin' Spoonful

Crying In The Rain-The Everly Brothers

See The Sky About To Rain-Neil Young

Rain Dance-The Guess Who

The Rain Song-The Bangles

Caught In The Rain-Fleetwood Mac

After The Rain-John Coltrane

Walking In The Rain-The Ronnettes

Rhythm Of The Rain-The Cascades

I Wish It Would Rain-The Temptations

I'm Only Happy When It Rains-Garbage

Rain-The Beatles

Raindrops-Dee Clark

Manhattan Island Serenade-Leon Russell

The Rains Came-Sir Douglas Quintet

So there you have it-the best songs to help one deal with crummy weather!

"If these April showers keep falling
And the floods come raging through
Don't come over to my house
My house'll come over to you!" (from BARNEY MILLER)

Cheers!
Gerry
