Everyday Variety Playlist
Remembering that night, Mrs. Smith brought up some interesting points that are really funny differences between she and I. For her, there are only certain times a year she is interested in watching a particular movie, and listening to certain songs or albums, holiday stuff not included. I’m the opposite. She said that Sleeping Beauty is an April movie, but she made an exception with me that one time watching it in January. I don’t get that at all. Sleeping Beauty is excellent, good year around, and though I might not want to watch it everyday, it certainly can be enjoyed multiple times a year.
It was this idea that some songs and albums don’t have a shelf-life or a season deemed only to enjoy them that I based our theme this week on. Each of these songs are tracks that, while I don’t listen to them heavily, are good and enjoyable anytime I get to experience them. They’re of an everyday variety that works any time. Most of them also have a particular memory associated with them that makes them even more special. I’ll be sharing some of the memories from these songs on the radio program as well as Facebook and Twitter this week. Share with me your stories and thoughts about this on those platforms as well. Enjoy!
