Hello - Words at the beginning, all I can say is WOW how appropriate today 😊.
As for music- I have really been getting into listening to Outlaw Country on Sirius, so much different music. If I am using Alexa this week my two requests have been TTB & Hayes. They both make me feel happy!
I like cool, smart and compassionate people, also. Dumb people irritate the hell out of me. I am not talking about ones who have a hard time learning. I am talking ones who won’t learn anything new and are clueless except to their own selfishness.
Peter Rowan has been on my speakers’s quite a bit. I could listen to Midnight-Moonlight over and over.
You asked what we're listening to lately: 1) Andrew Bird: Sunday Morning Put-On. 2) Lake Street Dive: Side Pony. 3) Corinne Bailey Rae: Closer EP (She's in my top 5 all-time modern Anglo musicians) 4) Shelby Lynne: I Am Shelby Lynne (25th Anniversary Edition) LP. 5) My usual garden variety of international music, including a Turkish Techno radio station on Apple Music. :)
Shelby has such a big heart rescuing beautiful Cleo. I hope Jetty is onboard with it. I don’t have much patience for most of the new music out now, but I’m intrigued by Sissy’s new album. Other than that, I’ve been listening to Stravinsky’s scores from the Ballet Russe.
I've been listening to Patty Loveless. Mountain Soul reels me in every single time. I can see a video in my mind of the characters and her ability to make me believe every word she says.
Have you read Parachute Women?
I keep going back to a playlist by bajanga on Qobuz The Music of Harry Bosch.
Great list if one is just dipping one’s toes into Jazz.
Everyone matters or no one matters.

I love Michael Connelly books!!!!
This week’s music has been all Emmylou, all the time. I believe she is an actual angel.

Have been listening to Chrissie Hynde , esp 😍”You can’t hurt a fool” 🙏🏽Excited to be seeing her in S.F. very soon.
Also love Sissy’s new song (your bd song) — so gorgeous, and Murder on the Dance Floor❤️
Ps so happy you got this awesome job!
