A Day on Cape Cod series charts the sounds of a typical day in the evocative seaside area. This volume, entitled
Summer Rain, captures the lull of a mid-afternoon rainstorm pattering against the sunroom screens. You can imagine sitting in a rocking chair, drinking strong coffee, and watching the storm move across Nantucket Sound. The uninterrupted, 60-minute track is simplistic, yet incredibly effective, both as a relaxation mechanism and suggestive device.
