Well, here on the northeastern coast of the USA, we are preparing for what they are saying could be the storm of the century. So I was trying to put together some tunes for the occasion to keep my spirits up. Should I play South Wind? Or Wind That Shakes the Barley? Or maybe the Rolling Waves?
'The Windy Gap' is one of my favorites. Any tunes for the east coast earthquake AL? Earthquakes, hurricanes....I'm surprised we've not heard more from the end time crazies what with 2012 looming......
John-This guy claims to have altered the path of hurricanes in the past (with the help of God, of course). Too bad we couldn't put him on a boat in front of Irene and let him try.....
Porthole. The Kelp was a ship that was wrecked near Spanish Point, and one of the portholes was found on the beach, I think by a friend or relative of Bobby Casey.
How about the sunny banks, or Always Look on the Bright side of Life (Not trad, but Monty Python is obviously a classic). Perhaps playing happy tunes will warn off the storm clouds. But then again I'm hopelessly optimistic, positive and boarding on naive.
BTW, best of luck Al and all others on the east coast. Here in Maryland we are starting to get bits of the leading edge. My family will be playing songs and tunes together when it really hits tonight, maybe by candle light if we lose power.

I am hoping I am still feeling playful in a few days. At least, being an acoustic musician, I will have something to do while the power is out...

Re: Stormy Tunes
I suppose A Blast Of Wind might be in order, though I've always assumed the title had a more bodily connotation than meteorological.

Re: Stormy Tunes
If you are up for a song, I like "Ready for the Storm" by Dougie MacLean. Yes, a bit modern folk, but appropriate. I like the versions done by Deanta ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pK02USyU8M ) and Rich Mullins ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_FznQW1xrI ).
