For A Rainy Sunday Morning

A number of years ago, while in Atlanta at a conference, it was raining very hard one night on the way back to my hotel. I had been listening to a CD of artists singing various songs not from their genre. One of those songs was "A Rainy Night in Georgia" by Conway Twitty. Twitty was singing the song made famous by Brook Benton, and did a wonderful job.

My daughter was young at the time, and she loved the song, too. So, on the rainy night, alone, and far from home, I called her from the car with that song playing in the background. I was immediately transported to her side. Strange how music can do the unimaginable.

That was one of the the best phone calls of my life. I still remember it today, on this rainy Sunday morning. I spoke to her on the phone last night, and that little girl voice is still there, and for a moment, we were sitting side by side.

Below is the original recording by Brook Benton. Enjoy.
