Can you feel it? Autumn is here, Halloween right around the corner. I'm sure for many of you out there, the leaves are even beginning to change. Not so much here in sunny Southern California, but there are a few trees starting to turn - heck, there are even a few that are jumping ahead and shedding their leaves already. While in no means is our fall as severe as your's may be - after living here a few years, it feels like fall to me already. The sun setting earlier, the different light of the day, the breeze - hopefully more rain.
It makes me miss the East.
And boy, do I ever this week. I'm glad it's Friday. I honestly don't think I could make it another day. All I want to do is curl up in a ball in my bed and not leave the house. I'd be content closing my eyes tonight and opening them to find it was Monday. It's been a really tough week and there are some major decisions I have to make soon.
So what kind of music fits this mood? Nothing depressing actually. Mellow sure, but something to lift the spirits. I've played some of his music before, but I've never given him the respect he deserves and this year, I've been listening to him a lot - finding that he can cheer me up pretty quickly. The smooth melodies, his calm voice, the messages in the lyrics. I can just turn him on and groove out, forgetting about everything else around me. So that's what I'm doing. Turning the volume up and letting go for a bit. This is Bob Marley's "Jamming."
