[LAU] [OT] talkin about the weather

Greetings,

Last week was really amazing here in Findlay OH USA. We suffered through
an incredible storm with 90 mph winds, then had no power and 100+ degree
(F) heat every day for the next seven days. I have an entirely new
appreciation for 1) the people who went through Katrina and 2) the
humble electron.

Anyway, I found some blues songs relating the effects of floods -
Charley Patton's High Water Rising and John Lee Hooker's Tupelo are two
great examples - and I found one that at least mentioned disaster by
fire (Muddy Waters' You Can't Lose What You Never Had), but I didn't fnd
any that dealt with extreme hot weather. Anyone know of any such songs ?

In the spirit of the thing here's a reprise of my first song completed
in Ardour, a long time ago (circa 2004 ?) :

Okay, well, I think my singing's improved a little since then.

"It's like talkin 'bout the weather never seems to change a thing..."

Seriously, if any of you put up with the same stuff last week that we
"enjoyed" I sincerely hope you're doing better now. It was one for the
record books around here.

Best,

dp
