Hi Floyd.

Thank you so much. When I was small kid back in the early '50s I spent a lot of time with my maternal grandfather (paternal grandfather died ten years before I was born). He's the one I quote in my signature block - Carl Crouch. He was jokester, cut-up and fabulous storyteller.

When he was watching me while granny was at work (he retired before she did), if I got into trouble he'd stare at me and say "I(f you don't get your act together, I'm gonna cloud up and rain all over you. And it's gonna be one hell of a storm!"

That's the origin of that line. He was very colorful with his language and told some of the very best stories. MY siblings and I would sit around for hours and listen to him tell stories for hours. I could write a lot of songs about those stories but many of them were a little, no - make that a lot - suggestive. My family loves when I make up the songs but would be embarrassed if anyone else listened to them. Not much foul language by lots of adult oriented subject matter.

Di never had the chance to meet him. He died in 1966 when I was in Vietnam. But she came up with a few suggestions on how to mold some the lines.

ANyway, glad you eNjoyed it., Thanks foR letting me know! Best to you.

Alan
