You are aware of the snow globes that make such lovely winter scenes. I think I  live in a rain globe – as if someone put me in a recycling fountain and put a ball of glass around me and my fountain. Probably there is a wooden base down there, maybe with a little wind up switch that sets some song playing.

I just looked on itunes and a search for “rain” yields the full 150 choices; as does  one for “raindrop”  – and both have some selections marked “explicit” in red. I don’t want to know anything about this. No red stuff – no.

Ah, but wait, all is not lost – I see itunes thinks I may have erred in my spelling – they are listing under the artist category a group called “Reindeer Section” . . .  Unfortunately, I could not leave it with those three dots; I clicked on the group which is Alternative and found the album, “Y’all Get Scared Now, Ya Hear” from 2001. And, they also have a follow-up album – “Son of Evil Reindeer.”

They are a Scottish group and YES, one of their songs is “Raindrop” so I guess I see the itunes logic. No, they aren’t a Scottish group; they are a group of musicians from Scottish groups. I wish I could copy the album review here, but maybe I’ve gone far enough – or too far already.

I know; I’ll have my rain globe play “You Are My Sunshine.”
