sounds of the seventies 170520 pt2 ON lockdown with johnnie walker Tracks Include Livin Thing by ELO Pressure Drop by Robert Palmer "Pressure Drop" refers to the barometric pressure. This song predates modern weather forecasting, and at that time in the context of this song, island populations relied on the simple but reliable instrument (barometer) to predict adverse weather. The liquid barometer displays pressure as a measure of the fluid in a glass tube, and when the air pressure drops the fluid level "drops" accordingly. A rapid drop in air pressure indicates the severity of the approaching storm (hurricane), and is sometimes referred to as "the bottom dropping out". https://hits-of-the-70s.blogspot.com/2017/10/american-jukebox-october-1976.html
