Early Mornin' Rain

Primero de Diciembre
So December falls and so does the rain. We're used to hearing about the November rain but with global weather trends will this be the norm. December rain? I don't think I like it...and I am officially placing "At least you don't have to shovel it!" above "It's not so much the heat as it is the humidity" on the list of crappy weather related salutations. BTW - the top of the best list is "Holy F(bomb)! Hot/Cold enough for ya! - it's simply timeless.

As for this song...well it's one of my favourite Lightfoot songs and the one I would like to learn first should I ever get around to learning how to strum that guitar in my room. It's also one of of the 100+ songs that Scotty put on discs as part of what may be the best birthday present anyone has ever got me. Knowing my penchant for procrastination, he took up my plan and followed through. He downloaded and burned (almost) all of the songs that make up these blog titles. Quite a chore and I am deeply indebted. And now if anyone actually does want a greatest hits compilation I can do it. And just in time for Christmas...2007!!! Of course this gift was complimented by this post on his blog. Oh and I gotta give North some love too...he was clearly drunk when he wrote this but it's the thought that counts. Shit...I have some good friends.

So in listening to these compilation CDs this morning I also heard one of my favourite back to back lyric pairings in a long time. From PJ's Wishlist:
"I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good
I wish I was the fool moon shining off a Camaro's hood"
The first line is so true and the second line, well, it mentions a Camaro; what else do you need.

Bitchin' Camaro
