Wow. I don't do this enough. Music lately has ended up on the back burner as I focus on getting through the rest of life, something that has been going mostly ok. My belief though is that music can help you through the ups and downs of life, and I need to take the time for music, for thinking, and for writing much more than I have recently. Anyway, here are a few songs, new to me, that I have enjoyed. Thanks again to NPR's All Songs Considered.
