Like Thunder ‘n’ Lightnin’

DaGoddess @ 22:33

We’ve had some great storms rolling through town here. Late night thunder and lightning. I like! I guess I have always managed to equate storms with the comforts of home. Gimme a good storm and all I want to do is to curl up in bed or on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket, sipping tea, possibly with someone else, but not necessarily.

Of course, when a storm rolls through town I always think of the song “Knock On Wood” by Eddie Floyd and the ever-incredible Steve Cropper. Who doesn’t like this tune?

Pathetic, isn’t it? I can’t even start to tell a story about me liking storms without going into some musical interlude.

Is there a cure for the music bug? Is there? Do I want to be cured?

Oooh! Getting close. I better get off the computer now.

  4. Don’t even get me started this morning, Stu. I need to wrap this up and get to bed. Been designing all night.

    “Walk on let me tell you ya’ll I, I, I, I, I, I’m so tired
    But I just can’t lose my stride
    Come on feet don’t fail me now
    I got ten more miles to go
    I got nine, eight, seven, six, ehhh ehh, six
    I got a five more miles to go
    Now over the hill just around the bend
    Huh although my feet are tired I can’t lose my stride
    I got to get to my baby again”
