Playlist: Every Story Is a Love Story

I made a playlist… or maybe more like a series of playlists… enough to fit in an old CD disc changer in your car.

In any case, I’m sharing this mixtape in an “old school” fashion. No links. You have to seek out the tracks (which of course is easier nowadays … but still takes conscious effort!)

Right now, the East Coast remains in a ‘Heat Dome’ and, in my present location, the high today and tomorrow is 97 degrees (without accounting for the heat index) and the air quality is not good. A perfect weekend to seek out songs and formulate opinions, right?

Let me know if you like what you hear.
