"April Showers Bring May Flowers" - We've all heard it said, but where did the phrase originate? It actually dates back to the 1500s and the English poet, Thomas Tusser. Back then, he wrote "“Sweet April showers do spring May Flowers." Now you know the rest of the story... That old phrase is our theme this week on RITY. I'll be featuring songs with titles that mention rain or a type of flower. For more information on the show, visit reelinwithryan.com.
