The Storms Are on the Ocean

I'm experimenting (playing around) with my blog template. It may change several times over the next few days. Thanks for your patience. In the meantime, if you have any suggestions about the look of the blog or its content, please comment. 


The storms are on the ocean.

And yesterday they moved through Tennessee. A tornado watch was out for all of middle TN until 8 PM, but the focus, the paper said, was on the northern counties. We made it through the day in our area without any severe storms or tornadoes. But three people were killed in other parts of the state. The Weather channel says more storms are expected to arrive Friday. Our state is beautiful, lush and green, but March and April are stormy times in Tennessee.

I hope there's only a pleasant breeze and warm sunshine wherever you are.

The Carter Family recorded "The Storms Are on the Ocean" in 1927 and released it (with "Single Girl, Married Girl" on the other side) in 1928. This was their second record and it was very popular. Over time, it's become a country standard and has been recorded by many singers since, including this version by Sharon White and Rickey Scaggs.
