If this spring is going to be anything like last spring, we here on the East Coast can expect three things: RAIN, RAIN, and more RAIN! That’s why my friends (VICTORIA, LEBLANC, GLADYS, THIERRY, KELLY, PORTER, IRVING, ANDY, CONWAY and JACOBI) are already planning ahead by buying something new wet-weather gear. In particular, we ordered high-the umbrellas from the latest Keeping Dry catalog. In addition to boasting a variety of features (MOLDED HANDGRIP, WATER REPLLENT POLYMER, LIGHTWEIGHT ALLOY, TRANSPARENT, and SAFETY LIGHTS), these umbrellas are equipped with small stereo systems that play upbeat music when the rain starts. Each of us ordered one umbrella, no two of which have the same feature or play the same song (KENTUCKY RAIN, SINGIN IN THE RAIN, WHO’LL STOP THE RAIN, RAINDROPS KEEP FALLIN ON MY HEAD, and RAINDY DAY WOMEN #12 & 35). Each umbrella arrived on a different weekday (MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, and FRIDAY) last week, so no we are truly prepared for those April showers, even if they continue through June! SUMMARIZED from the information provided, can you determine the WEEKDAY that the umbrella ordered by each friend (identified by FIRST and LAST names) arrived, as well as that umbrella’s FEATURE and the SONG it plays?

HINTS

The five umbrellas are the Friday arrival, the one with a molded handgrip, the one that plays Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, the one Andy ordered, and the one selected by the person surnamed Conway.

The umbrella with safety lights, which wasn’t ordered by the one surnamed Jacobi, doesn’t play Rainy Day Women #12 & 35.

The umbrella that plays Raindrops Keep Fallin on My Head arrived at some point before Gladys which arrived at some point before the one with safety lights (which wasn’t ordered by the person surnamed Leblanc)

Note: The first one with the CORRECT SOLUTION receives the reward
solution in this format:
Weekday FirstName LastName Feature Song

This puzzle is a process of elimination. I already gave you 3 hints to get you started. You have all the clues that are stated in the "detail contents". I would add more details later. :-)

MORE HINTS

Victoria's umbrella arrived the day after the one ordered by the friend surnamed Thierry. The umbrella that plays Singin in the Rain arrived at some point before the one made with a new water-repellent polymer. Four different umbrellas are mentioned in this clue.

The person surnamed Porter is neither the one who ordered the umbrella that plays Kentucky Rain nor the one who ordered the umbrella that plays Who'll Stop the Rain?

Irving's umbrella arrived the day before the transparent one, which arrived the day before the one that plays Who'll Stop the Rain?

Some of you are on the right track. Yes there was a final piece of the pie missing. Here is that piece and I hope some of you rethink the logic for this puzzle.

FINAL

The one surnamed Jacobi (who isn't Kelly) didn't order the umbrella whose frame is made from a lightweight alloy. Kelly's surname isn't LeBlanc.
