One of my favorite things to do at the end of every year is look back on the music I just couldn’t get enough of. Some if it is music that I have carried with me for many years, some of it is new music I’ve discovered, and other’s are forgotten favorites.
Listening to music to me is like meeting a new friend, or familiarizing myself with an old one! Both are reasons to smile.
I thought I’d share some of these with you:
My Favorite Songs from 2019:

Learning to Fly by Floyd has been with me since boyhood and is now my go-to for my warm down jog song. It’s psychedelic poetry!
