It seems as if there is a lot about water falling from the sky. How Does Rain Get Made? I like this ancient Chinese weatherology: In China, there was once a widespread belief that dragons controlled the weather, and rain especially. One dragon in particular, named Yinglong, or Responding Dragon, was associated with water and rain. Usually, Yinglong gave just enough rain to nourish the earth, but he could send floods or withhold rain on a whim if people did not honor him properly. His name, Responding Dragon, refers to the notion that, if the people cried out to him for more or less rain, he would have mercy and respond to their pleas. Yinglong was also said to have carved out riverbeds with his tail as a gift to humankind, to hold rainwater in between showers.
I wonder if Rita Hayworth would dance for rain, in the rain, or if she’d be despondent that the clouds opened up & rained… But I’d like to invite her, if it were possible, to come to the Kenosha Pops Concert Band – 1st show of the 103rd season on June 14, 2025 @ 2pm at the Civil War Museum. Here is the schedule for the rest of the year.
