Stormy Weather

In honor of our current cold, rainy spring here's my guitar version of the great jazz standard "Stormy Weather.' I learned how to play this from the excellent instructional video posted on Youtube by that guitar hero of Prairie Home Companion, Mr. Pat Donahue. My guitar teacher, Richard Rabatin showed me how to adapt Pat Donahue's version to my (much lower) level of skill. I know that both the music and the video are a little shaky...so please listen with kindness in your hearts.

Thanks for your interest. I know you know a lot about birds. Do you know the name of the bird featured in my video? I have never seen it on the pond before.

I have been working on playingStormy weather for two years now...maybe in another year I will have it!
