Much to the chagrin of the wifey whenever it rains I have a certain music playlist I like to play, but there’s only a few songs on there, more needs to be added. So far I have: “Raining on Sunday” Keith Urban “Songs About Rain” Gary Allen “Come Clean” Hilary Duff “Is it Raining Where You Are?” Brad Paisley “Purple Rain” Prince That’s all I have so far. ---
