It’s summertime, and the livin’ ain’t always easy. Take a break from the insanities of war, politics, Covid, and climate change. Listen to some tunes. Music heals.

Thank you, dear Helen. It’s always a mishmash how these come together from friends. A surprise to me when I build the post. I’ll make a note to add Ventura Highway. Great tune, great band. I got to see them in concert back in the day. They had a string of great tunes, then poof, gone. Will add Elbow too–new to me!!!!! Will catch up later. I saw your email. A bit crazed trying to get ready! Karla

Great song suggestions- thanks. Brings back years of memories (mostly positive). One other suggestion would be to take an ocean 🚢 cruise……..See you soon. As an aside we’re seeing Gordon Lightfoot at UPAC in Kingston when we get back from The Queen…….. again, thanks and see you in The Golden Lion…… 👍🙏
