Stormy Weather - Lena Horne (Cover)

This is one of my personal favorites, and one of the first songs I started seriously practicing on the ukulele.

When I was in Ireland and the weather got really cold and depressing out, I watched a lot of movies from the local library. 'Stormy Weather' was one of them. It is an amazing film with an unsurpassable cast including Lena Horne, Fats Waller, Cab Calloway and others, and is kind of a narrative on the life of Bill 'Bojangles' Robinson. When Lena Horne sang this song near the end of the film, I loved it right away. If you haven't seen the film, do it!!!! It's wonderful.

I thought that due to this crazy weather we've been having, this song was fitting. :)

So stay warm, give hugs and kisses to your honey, and try to make the best of these crazy stormy times we're having!!

Much love and peace.
