Ok, I promise this is the last Isabel related entry today. I can’t go making promises about tomorrow or the next day.
During the storm last Thursday we finally turned on the generator during a period of little rain so we could flush and then it turned into a party. Remember reading days in college? You’d get an hour to make as much noise as you could and then when the gong sounded you had to shut up again? That’s what it was like around 10:30 last Thursday night (the 18th for those of you keeping score).
Here’s what we listened to…yes, I got hooked on a theme.
Stereo MC’s-Connected (as in get connected to power)
Mary Chapin Carpenter-Down at the Twist & Shout (mentions drinking Hurricanes)
Peter Gabriel-Red Rain
Stevie Ray Vaughan-Couldn’t Stand the Weather
Prince-Purple Rain
Billie Holliday-Stormy Weather
The Doors-Riders on the Storm
The Blue Nile-Tinseltown in the Rain (we went into the vault for that one)
JJ Cale-Call Me the Breeze
Cowboy Junkies-Southern Rain
Nanci Griffith-Comin’ Down in the Rain
The Alarm-Eye of the Hurricane
