MetaRadio WEATHER or Not While it's raining kitties and puppies around me, I've been going through my music collection pulling everything weather-related. DANG there are a lot of songs with "rain" in the title. Starting in a few minutes, I'll have 45 minutes of different versions of one classic blues 'Weather' song (culled from another collector's 80+ versions), then on the top of the hour (8PM Pacific, 11PM Eastern, 4AM GMT, etc etc) I'll go crazy with Rain, Sunshine, Snow, Wind and other Weather, in a set that will run a long time (and probably still need to be cut off and continued later). Tune in any time for the next mumblemumble and bring your own umbrella!

yes, those were all versions of "Stormy Weather" by Billie Holliday, Art Tatum, Frank Sinatra with Quincy Jones' Big Band, Judy Garland, Jackie Wilson, Django Reinhardt, Ella Fitzgerald with the Nat King Cole Trio, The Golden Gate Quartet, The Franck Pourcel Orchestra, Lena Horne, The Earls, Ethel Waters, Duke Ellington and Dinah Washington.

Now for some more (EXTREMELY) variable weather...

Not surprisingly, I woke up this morning with Stormy Weather wedged in my head.
