No, this is not an appraisal of Georg Frederick Handle’s “Water Music” composition.
This is much more important than that.
I have a question: Do you feel compelled to sing out once you don the bathing clothes and hop (or slither) into the lake or the ocean? No? Neither do I.
Now let’s be clear about this next question, Gene Kelly was paid
a whole lot of money to “sing in the rain” (so we’ll exempt him), but do you, yourself, voluntarily get the urge to sing as soon as the down-pour gets under way? No? Nor do I.
So why in hell is it that every time I get into the shower I start singing Bob Marley songs? “...... ambush in the night ...... du-du-du-du-du ..... don’t work for no CIA ... du-du-du-du .... all together now …..du-du-du-du .....”
