MUSIC OF THE MOMENT AND SOME CLASSICS

When at home I just love having background music.  Depending on mood, time of day or entertaining.  There is so much amazing artists old and new that I find myself just changing it up when I feel the desire.  The best is rediscovering artists from the past!  My other love when alone are podcasts which I will do a special blog on.  Here are some of my current music favorites, some classic and some new.  I know when you filter thru this list I am for sure dating myself!  I must say this has been so much fun putting together for you and me too!!!!
I will make sure this becomes a regular update on my blog as it has been a blast doing it!

I would love to know what you are listening to!
