‘And the Rains Came’

There’s so much musical talent in the the Galilee, you may think that it  positively pours from the mountain tops and into the laps of the musicians below!

We’re all twice blessed!

Larry.MindyNow cue folksters Larry and Mindy who delight local audiences with their renditions of famous songs from the sixties and seventies and who have promoted their autumn season  – also the start of Israel’s rainy season - with a clip of Jose Feliciano’s original 1969 version of – what else? – Rain!

Jose.Feliciano

“Rain

“Listen to the pouring rain
Listen to it pour,
And with every drop of rain
You know I love you more

“Let it rain all night long,
Let my love for you go strong,
As long as we're together
Who cares about the weather?

“Listen to the falling rain,
Listen to it fall,
And with every drop of rain,
I can hear you call,
Call my name right out loud,
I can here above the clouds
And I'm here among the puddles,
You and I together huddle.

“Listen to the falling rain,
Listen to it fall.

“It's raining,
It's pouring,
The old man is snoring,
Went to bed
And bumped his head,
He couldn't get up in the morning,

“Listen to the falling rain,
Listen to the rain”.
