Season 631: I Mist You

[TCK]

Seems like the last few months, seasons just get right by me without my hitting record. Parents leaving, pets doing the same, new cats trashing the place…work being too much work, training two classes of future raptor wranglers, and little league. Just buried, but Mel called a tune and I could not help but play it.
Thanks for the reason Pancho.

A Muddy Waters off the beaut Folk Singer album. I was surprised when I saw the line "where the weather suits my clothes". Such a great line that Fred Neil must have "sampled" for "Everybody's Talkin'.

ROBIN IN THE RAIN

Observing birds from the kitchen window.

 

[mountain goat]

thank you everyone for an incredible day! such great songs!
we went from jazz, to folk, old-time traditionals, an awesome original,
pop, tin pan alley and rock and some gorgeous footage
and reflections from Rob as we like to expect.
w/out mentioning anyone by name, there were some truly unexpected
surprises and an array of mindblowingly good recordings.
you're all brilliant! was a joy to listen today,
as it has been each day so far, eh Charlie...

'Twas never my intent to come back today, but, for the first time this week, the sun is seriously shining and the temperature is 18 degrees ... so I thought it was time to celebrate! Herewith, I bring you a reflective, unnecessarily over-dramatic version of a classic song, preaching the virtues of optimism. Dedicated to our esteemed Host, who, by his own admission, has trouble keeping his "sunny side up" ....

Cheers for hosting Jon. I've covered this one yonks back but love Buddy Holly (the greatest writer of love songs ever) and love this song so any chance to do it and I'm there. Public Image courtesy of the Bobby Dazzler Appreciation Society.

Here is my cover of an original by Chris. @hands_on_lanzon

Thanks so much for letting me cover your beautiful song, Chris. I did it in the way I was able to, and how I felt it. I hope it is OK. (I know I used different chords from yours...)

"This cold world's for the birds."

Renaissance Man sang over my 2022 cover of Everybody's Talkin', and shared the recording with me. I felt honoured and was pleasantly surprised. His voice singing along with mine has a certain quality that i dunno how to describe, so i decided that this painting of mine may show a little of how i feel.
Thornton Rule here, Jon. As 50% of this submission is old stuff.

another Stormy Weather

This is a very old original from the late 1980s. I used it once before for the Seasons, but it was a long time ago when I was new here. It was about something that happened one December night when it was cool but not cold and very, very foggy. Eventually the fog became so dense that it began misting rain. If I'm outside on a night like that even now it triggers memories and I start wondering what ever happened to her. I originally wrote this on a Korg digital piano and I've never really been able to translate it well to the ukulele. I still have the recording I made back then, recorded onto a cassette tape with my old boombox. I forgot to button my shirt over my white t-shirt, and the white t-shirt messed up the lighting, so it looks grainy and weird. Oh well. It was a weird night. Rain predicted for tomorrow.

Here's my contribution. Happy to join the fun. Thanks for hosting Jon!

Since @bobjking posted the CCR classic "Have You Ever Seen The Rain?" I thought I should dig out my answer to that question, which I wrote for a season last summer. I may have taken the question a bit more literally than John Fogerty intended.

A WALK IN THE IRISH RAIN - Steve Spurgin

- learned from the Irish Descendants this morning

 

[flyingroc]

I've always wanted to learn this Carpenter's song, and took this season's theme as a sign I should attempt it.

Another seventies song - Sunshine on My Shoulders by John Denver.





After hovering around 30º C Monday & Tuesday with about 1mm of rain Tuesday it struggled to get to a top of 15º C yesterday with a very cool breeze and is back at about 21 with a gusty wind today. Tops of between 19 and 21 expected for the next few days with a chance of a shower on Sunday. I should be concentrating on rain dances and not songs about sunshine - so dry here at the moment.
