John Lowerahan Rainy Night In Georgia

A Word from our God, John Lowerahan

This is a version of Brook Benton's utter classic, "Rainy Night in Georgia". (As opposed to the Jack Nicholson song from the critically acclaimed but little-seen 1971 classic, "Where's Your Mama Gone?" ((probably)).)

What I love about the song "Rainy Night in Georgia" is, it could be Georgia USA, or Georgia USSR. You're singing about a rainy night that could be either in America or in Russia; which says, abstractly, volumes about popular song in general, I think. By the way, there are probably three or four Georgias in the USA too, which is mad. And also I've always loved this song's slinky way of modulating between major 7th and dominant 7th voicings: it comes naturally, and doesn't feel forced.

This is me sitting in (as opposed to outside) with the wonderfully talented and relaxed Skylark band. (In all honesty, I wish I could have done a better job on the vocals, but it seems still ok, mainly because of the band. Those fellas really picked up the right swing and that's Jamie on drums by the way.)

Now go forth and multiply.


ATTENTION Y0uTUBE CENSORS: I am using the copyright of this song to illustrate a point: it is being used for satire and so you have to let me post it.

It's funny, isn't it? We condemn that which we hate. No that can't be right. We condemn that which we love, don't we? Ultimately, if we're not careful. One's spiritual bread may contain evil spores. There is every chance that an al qaeda terrorist of the soul might storm the fortress of your hopelessly out-dated mind-set and lead to an all out blow out of incredulousness-inspiring proportions. As a rule, that's what tends to happen.

Have you heard about the gipsies riding horses into pubs? It goes on. And people get aggressive with the blameless ponies. But the police are cracking down on it, or rather the landlord's premises on which it happens. Because they're tough on gipsies, tough on the causes of gipsies. Brilliant. When I looked at that, I knew immediately how brilliant it was, and that I could be the prime minister of America and the whole world if I kept coming out with gems like that.
