Perfect Playlist for The Portal’s Choice

I dedicated The Portal’s Choice to my daughter, Shannon, because she is truly my female voice, willing to listen and give me advice whenever I ask during the writing process. Last August, Shannon left for her first year of college and I’ve missed her very much. This holiday break, I’ve taken advantage of her time at home to get a few questions answered, including some direction as to the best modern songs that Tallis would love to listen to.

Shannon and her iPhone joined me the other day to brainstorm songs that would best fit The Portal’s Choice. For me, this was both a crash course in some of the new music out there as well as a way to spend time with my daughter. We both had fun and I realized that I knew many of the songs she played for me but I didn’t always know the title or the artist. There were a few tunes I was unfamiliar with, however, and I’m glad Shannon was home to introduce me to some amazing music. Between the two of us, we put together a pretty awesome playlist for The Portal’s Choice, including old and new songs. I hope you agree.
