Bless The Rains

It's been forever since we had any significant rain here in Minneapolis, which makes for a nice mosquito-free summer, but also for crispy brown lawns and impossible farming/gardening conditions. Nothing we can do about it, of course, but a little rain dance couldn't hurt, right?



That's an Eastern European choral group called Perpetuum Jazzile turning in a pretty stunning rendition of my very favorite one-hit-wonder song from my childhood in the '80s, Toto's "Africa." Gotta love the creative thunder and lightning effect at the beginning...

(Hat tip to former MN Orch personnel manager Brian Woods for bringing this clip to my attention.)
