Rockin to the Rain Today!

We had rain today! Here in Texas!  Yeah!

(Even if the shower didn't last as long as this song...

still...we had water...falling from the sky.  It counts!)

To all the folks on the East Coast
...praying for you, and thanks for sending a sprinkle our way.
Hope you all are weathering the storm safely.

Aloha Friday

Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday! Every Friday (well, ok, almost every Friday) I ask a simple question--nothing that requires a lengthy response. 

This week I've been having some fun tracking down songs related to Texas and California. I'm putting together a list here. So my question for you today is...

Do you know of any California or Texas songs? What's your fave (or a few of your faves)?

Please leave your answer in a comment below.  And, if you have a blog and would like to post your own question you can leave your link at An Island Life.

My Favorite Texas Song

There was a song I stumbled onto a while ago by the Austin Lounge Lizards that is hilarious. It's called "Stupid Texas Song"-- if you were still visiting when I had the old Texifornia site at geocities up you might recognize this stanza from it:

One more stupid song about Texas,
You've heard it all before so sing along
Biggest belt buckles and boasts, love that big old Texas toast,
Let's sing another stupid Texas song

Well, I just visited the Austin Lounge Lizards Website again, and while I can't find the lyrics anymore, they have a MP3 clip of the song up--you can find it under Music in the "Listen" section on the left hand sidebar. Go check it out...it's hilarious!
