Yep - rained cats and dogs for quite a while. The culverts couldn’t handle the flow in the dithes alongside Hwy 92, every wash from the Mall up to Fry’s was running, and the shopping center parking lots all had ankle deep water in them after the rain passed through.

The Herald said it this morning - we are having one of the strongest Monsoons we’ve had in a decade, if not longer. We’re well ahead of our annual average rainfall for August and this one may set records. We may have to go back to the floods of ‘83 see rainfall like this.

Or, it could dry up today and we'd have no more until January! The desert is funny that way.

I think that version of Patches was supposed to be the Bobby Vinton one, about the girl from the shanty town. It's a lovers suicide song.

In a weird way I always found Siouxie kind of attractive back then, especially in the “Kiss Them For Me” video.

But I imagine she probably didn’t age very well.

I heard it playing one day in a Spencers Gifts store. I just googled her to see what she looks like. Yikes!

Another cover in that same vein that caught my attention was Wall of Voodoo's cover of the Beach Boys "Do It Again."

Was it a recent picture? It depends how she made herself up....This is an example when I thought she still was attractive.

I just did an image search and saw all of them. Mostly goth, now.

I think that version of Patches was supposed to be the Bobby Vinton one, about the girl from the shanty town. It's a lovers suicide song.

The hit version was by Dickie Lee. It's one of my least favorite songs because the protagonist is such a craven coward. He won't defy his parents or sneak away to visit his lover, and when he hears of her death, he takes the chicken's way out (to use a '60's expression) and kills himself. He's also clearly not the brightest bulb on the chandelier, having chosen to take his own life based on hearsay.

That's why the "Patches" that I referred to was the one by Joseph Smith's Orchestra from 1919. I have a copy of that on a 78 rpm disc.

It's not a big deal, it's just that it was included in a list of period songs from the mid-1950s.

They play it a lot on the Sirius XM 50s on 5 channel.

"Patches" is from 1962, not the mid-1950's. It annoys me, somewhat, that about half the songs played on 50s on 5 at Sirius XM are actually from the '60s. However, I love their special programs, especially "Pink and Black Days" on Saturday nights.

You know, I notice that most of the songs on the 50s channel don't have dates on them, like the 60s onward channels do.

Probably not enough of them to fill up a rotation.

Third wave of showers moving through now; the storm stretches all the way down into Ol’ Mexico.

I've noticed that, too. The songs on 40's on 4 usually have dates, but not the occasional '30's or even '20's tune that gets sneaked into the playlist.

Pleeeeese send us your “leftovers”! Hope you don’t get flooded at your house.

My son’s MIL lives in your area. I hope she’s ok, too.
