Why a music blog? Have you ever noticed how many people relate over music? The music we listen to is a window into our moods, our souls. Always temporal, evolving. One day it's the beat, the rhythm, the melody. Another day it's the lyrics. With it's ability to carry us away into another time and place, a cherished memory or a fantasy escape, music helps us transcend or endure the mundane. Music helps us make sense of painful experiences or confusing emotions, or safely, cathartically re-experience those feelings. And it has the transformative power to alter our mood for the better or worse. The kind of music we enjoy is a very personal thing, a matter of taste that cannot be imposed by another, but grows instead out of our own histories and sensibilities. And yet what pleasure to find others who like what you like -- you can share aural space with them without getting a headache or losing your mind. You can lead each other to discover new artists and genres. If you take the time to read all or the occasional entry, I hope you find a treat in this log of tunes.

Johnny Cash American Recordings no. 4. The one where he covers everyone from Simon and Garfunkel to Trent Reznor as well as some original tunes and old standards. His love, faith and integrity are evident through out. His rendition of Hurt is worth the price of the album.
