To often some of us get caught in a musical time warp and continue to play the same songs we listened to in high school and college. There has been a lot of good music written in the last half of your life that you may not yet have heard.
A friend suggested that I compile a list of some of my favorite tunes. As an older human I’ll try to add a newer song, preferably released in the 21st century, to the list each week.
