Wind and Rain

[billroper]

The severe thunderstorm passing overhead has set the lights flickering and knocked out our DirecTV reception, so I'm distracting the girls with a pre-recorded copy of Wipeout.

With any luck, we won't wipeout. :)

When that I was but a little tiny boy
With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
A foolish thing was but a toy
And the rain it raineth every day.
    With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
    And the rain it raineth every day.

That's the first verse of Feste's Song that ends "Twelfth Night". Here it is sung by Ben Kingsley (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muVjxyhIQ8g&feature=related) on YouTube (5:30). Most of the song is in the first two minutes or so, but it's worth watching through the next indoor scene -- a continuation of the theme -- to see and hear his last verse, overlooking the sea. I don't think you need the closing credits, though their music is still good. -- This is a different tune than the one I learned from my father. I'm sure there are a great many.
