If there ever was a song that could impart a sense of nostalgia about something as disastrous as a hurricane, this is it. Nothing like a good hurricane party to take the edge off an impending disaster.

Storyteller, lyricist, and generally misanthropic. That's his word. Love his music and all the little stories he sings.
