My New Life Music Shuffle
This has been going on for two months. It’s been a very busy and yet very strange time. Lots more driving than I normally did in my “old” life. Music has helped me stay grounded.

Holiday iPod Shuffle
“Mr. Harris” – Aimee Mann. Every time I hear women being judgmental about older men dating younger women – and I hear it all the time – I think of … well, my own life. My greatest love was 13 … Continue reading →

Autumn Shuffle
“Jambalaya” – Hank Williams. Classic. That steel guitar wandering around in the background. My old friend Pat McCurdy used to play this song at his shows (I’m sure he still does). There was something so charming about being in a … Continue reading →

Spring iPod Shuffle
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these iPod Shuffle lists. I find them fun and strangely relaxing to put together. It’s therapeutic to submit to the random-ness of the Shuffle. I’ve been on the move the last … Continue reading →

Late Summer Shuffle

“I’d Give Up All My Sins and Serve the Lord” – Sam Cooke and the Soul Stirrers. So smooth, so powerful. “Good Golly Miss Molly” – Jerry Lee Lewis. Love the saxophone. Sexy. And of course the piano. He’s nuts. … Continue reading →
