Re: rain samples to share

Hi there,

Very nice recording there.

I felt I was there.

I just wasted a bit of money buying some CD's of some environmental 
sounds like that.

Yeah, yeah, I know I could've recorded my own but it hasn't rained here 
lately.

Thanks for sharing.

Got any more?

Best,

Ted Killian
