Wind & Rain

I still need to do the DC wrap-up post, but my computer's acting up, so I'll tell you about the sweet potato biscuits that will make you want to cry tomorrow. Until then, you can listen to this song, "Wind & Rain," which should do the trick for producing melancholy, being a very fine murder ballad. If you can get your hands on the Songcatcher soundtrack, you can hear a better rendition performed by Gillian Welch, David Rawlings, and David Steele. Listen to it long enough, and the lyric "he made a fiddle peg of her long finger bone" will make you weep. And if that doesn't break you, you can consider the fact that the high in my city was 14 degrees today and you can grieve for me. And if that doesn't produce tears, you're just mean and cold-hearted.
