Sunshine, blue skies, please go away |
Background:
“This is a little bedroom recording that I made as a contribution to a Seder dinner to which we had been kindly invited last night in New York City. Needless to say, we are now using every piece of electronic magic to maintain such traditions at a time when we cannot gather together. You know what I look like by now, so I preferred just to sing. The song by Barrett Strong, Norman Whitfield and Rodger Penzabene is probably well known to you but it occurred to me that it said something in these days during which we usually gather to celebrate deliverance, redemption or simply to eat too much chocolate. As the great Irish comedian, Dave Allen, always used to sign off, ‘Goodnight, thank you and may your God go with you‘ to which I would only add ‘Stay well, stay safe, we’ll see each other soon’.” — Facebook, April 10, 2020 |
