Song 815: This week the playlist can introduce you to Week of Rain by Jeff Larson, who also wrote the song, and you can find a YouTube video of it by clicking on the title. Seven weeks after my previous personal friend song post, this week's saturating forecast comes from one of my closest CA musical buddies. We first saw each other perform solo sets on a stage in San Francisco back in 1979, and since we both liked what we saw and heard at that event, we soon developed a close melodic friendship. We actually even became a performing duo for a while, calling ourselves Dusty River, and we did some performances together, as well as plenty of rehearsals. At some point, we decided to end the duo, but we still remained in close touch, and continued to do so after I headed back eastward in September of 1988. When I get copies of a new recording in hand, I'll send him a CD of that project, and he does the same, so last year I started getting to hear his Adobe Home album quite a bit, which includes this moist observance. Now that the April showers might arrive, those of us in the U.S. Northeast may start staring at a week of rain, though maybe we could call it by another name, and perhaps hope for the sun, though the light might not be easily found.
