OH THE CRUEL RAIN AND THE WIND (LIVE) (Public Domain)
The recording of this centuries old murder ballad was made in March 2019 during a concert at Montreal’s Yellow Door Coffeehouse during the week of my 70th birthday. Though recording quality is not perfect, I really like this performance, and I particularly enjoy the enthusiastic audience participation. While at an exhibition of the works of Marc Chagall a couple of years earlier, contemplating one of his paintings of a fiddler standing on a rooftop, this song came to mind, and I made up a new stanza, under the influence of the painting, to come just before the conclusion of the song.
