With Robin Bogg there are always surprises. What may be little known about me is that I have on the quiet for years been a rider of records, a saddler of vinyl, a jockey of discs. I love my music and am always prepared to DJ at family events, be it weddings, christenings and even funerals, whether the rest of the Boggs like it or not.
Therefore it is a great honour to be asked to "keep it real" at the Blacbury Bowls Club's annual umbrella hoedown in a couple of weeks. Yes, I will be doing a mash-up, or should I say splash-down, for up to 40 groovers, both old and even older.
I am now trying to draw up my playlist and while obviously Rihanna's unsurpassed gem, Umbrella, is a nailed on, stonewall Hobson's for closing number, there are many other rain related ditties to shoehorn into the 2 hour slot I have been allocated. What precipitation related songsmithery would you like to hear if you were lucky enough to scalp tickets to the hottest, and wettest, happening of the year?

ReplyDeleteI'm just a fella, a fella with an umbrella,
Looking for a girl who saved her love for a rainy day.
I'm just a fella, a fella with an umbrella,
Glad to see the skies of blue have turned into skies of gray.
Raindrops have brought us together,
And that's what I long to see.
Maybe the break in the weather will prove to be a break for me.
So I'll be the fella, that fella with an umbrella,
If you'll be the girl who saved her love for a rainy day.
Oh, the raindrops have brought us together,
And that's what I long to see.
Maybe the break in the weather will prove to be a big break for me.
So I'll be the fella, the kid with the small umbrella,
If you'll be the girl who saved her love for a rainy day.
If you will be the girl, the girl who saved her love for a rainy day.
Gold, pure gold. All great suggestions. The joint will be rocking like a chair.
