Music Monday remembers Chris Squire – Owner of a Lonely Heart #YES
Chris Squire, bass player for the band YES, passed away this weekend. I didn’t follow much of their music, but this was a huge hit when I was growing up.
YES is going on tour with TOTO, and this marks the first time the band will perform live without Squire. Very sad … but the music lives on.
Wishing you a good week,

Music Monday and The Look of Love
With Fay Slift
Today’s music is dedicated to two very dear friends, Rex and Josée, who just celebrated their 30 year anniversary!
Summer could not have kicked off better than with their party this past Saturday — replete with a fortune teller, burlesque dancer, and the amazing Fay Slift (@fay_slift) who performed “The Look of Love.”
Enjoy this Dusty Springfield number and have a wonderful week.

Music Monday and Eight Miles High with the Byrds
The Byrds’ last Top 20 hit was inspired by John Coltrane’s complex jazz pieces and Ravi Shankar’s sitar. ‘Eight Miles High’ came on the radio while I was driving last week.
The song was banned from U.S. radio after its release in 1966, following suspicion the lyrics were about drugs. At the time, the band denied these allegations, but in later years admitted it was at least partly inspired by their own drug use.
The backstory only made me fall in love with the sound all over again. ;)
Hope y...

Music Monday and My Silver Lining with First Aid Kit
This is the third time I’m featuring First Aid Kit, Swedish sisters who sing wonderful harmonies. I love their lyrics and music, plus we all need a silver lining somedays, right?

“I don’t want to wait anymore I’m tired of looking for answers
Take me some place where there’s music and there’s laughter
I don’t know if I’m scared of dying but I’m scared of living too fast, too slow
Regret, remorse, hold on, oh no I’ve got to go
There’s no starting over, no new beginnings, time races on
And y...

I walked into the subway station en route to an Economics class. It was the final year of my undergraduate program, and I was barely scraping by in the course. With ticket in hand, I approached the subway booth. It was empty. I looked around, no one directly behind me. Without a further moment’s hesitation, I made a...

Music Monday is Steppin’ Out with Joe Jackson in #NYC
I returned from visiting family and friends in New York City last week. Each time I’m there, I see a celebrity or two, and this time Joe Jackson was at the same restaurant as we were in Chelsea.
Remember this classic song?
It’s a great one and you’ll see wonderful NYC scenes in it too.
Enjoy and have a super week,
