i used to have a boss who sang that song every day. regardless of what the weather was doing outside, larry sang "stormy weather" inside.
actually, he didn't really sing the song. he just sang two words of it- stormy weather - over and over. and over.
sometimes it was annoying but mostly, it was endearing. it was just so larry.
we'd all be sitting at our desks, on the phone or on the computer or, usually, not on anything.......just shootin' the breeze......and from back in the back, where larry's office was, we'd suddenly hear this booming "stooooormmmyyyy weather!!!" it wouldn't have made sense anywhere else, but there, it did.
sometimes he'd return from lunch, stroll through the front office, and sing out. it was always just those two words......"stormy weather."
nobody ever asked him why he only sang just those two words or why he never ever sang any other song besides that one. but we wondered. and we theorized. the theories ranged from that's the only musical chord he knows how to sing half-way decently to maybe he likes bad weather to maybe he fell in love for the first time on a stormy day. or night.
whatever the reason, i liked it. we all liked it.
and on stormy days like today........i like to think that we're all singing it,
too.
