A little reduction is better than none. Gotta take what we can get. LOL

Far from drying out here. It’s drizzled all . day . long and will be wet tomorrow as well. Then the sun comes out for a few days and it’ll be a sauna. Then more rain later next week.

I haven’t sat out on the patio to watch for the lightning bugs. There’s plenty of time for that though. The cicadas were quiet today since it was so wet but they were quite loud yesterday. They’ve never scared off the katydids before and I doubt they will this year. They’re usually winding down by the time the katydids come out anyway.

Yes, I do like the version that you posted—it has that “Truman era” (or, being conservative, I should say “Robert A. Taft era”) sound that I really like.

I found out through some quickie sleuthing that it is from the movie “The Jolson Story” and that the orchestra backing Al Jolson was conducted by Carmen Dragon, who conducted the Whittier Union High School District Honor Band in its 1969 annual concert. The Honor Band consisted of the top instrumentalists in the district—I tried out for it but didn’t make the cut. They always tried to get a celebrity to conduct the concert.

Dragon also had a radio show that he always concluded by announcing, “today is the first day of the rest of your life.”

Cool!   (What instrument(s) do you play for the band?)

[radu]

Dang. I hoped things would get done smoothly. It never seems to work out that way, though, does it. So much for a more laid back day tomorrow. *sigh*

Just big cumulus clouds over along the mountains but there’s no rain on the radar. The sky is pretty clear and the sun is blazing over by the airports now but it was cloudier earlier.
