Thanks for the link, I am enjoying it. :)
Best,

Last week was really amazing here in Findlay OH
USA. We suffered
through an incredible storm with 90 mph winds, then had no power and
100+ degree (F) heat every day for the next seven days. I have an
entirely new appreciation for 1) the people who went through Katrina
and 2) the humble electron.
Anyway, I found some blues songs relating the effects of floods -
Charley Patton's High Water Rising and John Lee Hooker's Tupelo are
two great examples - and I found one that at least mentioned disaster
by fire (Muddy Waters' You Can't Lose What You Never Had), but I
didn't fnd any that dealt with extreme hot weather. Anyone know of
any such songs ?
Dave,
I think this will do :

And I'm sure you'll enjoy the site as a whole.
Cheers.
