SNOW AWAY

First the Snow fell...
And of course, I have to link to this wonderful little film about trains and workers in the snow:

SNOW - by Geoffrey Jones

Then it stopped, but there was so much of the stuff that it stayed around for weeks...

Check out the Grandmother of Gospel, wonderful song, he'll wash you whiter than snow:

Alex Bradford & Sallie Martin: He'll Wash You Whiter


The snow is so filthy on the city sidewalks that it seems like a modest promise, but there's nothing middle of the road about the performance.

Finally today it started raining, it made me sing this song the Little Richard way!...

Didn't It Rain - Little Richard

Open the floodgates of heaven! *I* *SMELL* *RAAAAAAIN*

LET IT RAIN - Bishop Paul S. Morton

A city where it rarely doesn't rain... how we pray for rain now! To wash away all the filth... Some day a real rain will come and wash all the scum off the street...

Red Angel Dragnet - The Clash

Until then, keep looking up. I'm looking up above my head, I hear music in the air...

Up Above My Head - Sister Rosetta Tharpe
