Music
Everything But the Girl (fabulous duo from London)
Van Morrison (have always had a thing for Vanís tunes)
Over the Rhine (This husband and wife duo offers melancholy music with an edge of hope--amazing vocals, arrangements, and lyrics)
Innocence Mission (This group and OTR where my soundtrack for a trip to Europe thanks to friend Jeremiah Eads and compilation cds)
Sade (great mood music)
U2 (nearly every CD has a couple amazing gems, which I find remarkable)
The Cure (soundtrack to my post-college, first job years)
Sam Phillips (very quirky, Iíve always liked her and love that she does music for Gilmore Girls)
Til Tuesday/Aimee Mann
77s
So many moreÖeverything from Jars of Clay (love their Redemption Songs) to Bruce Cockburn to Madonna to AC/DC. Eclectic tastes to say the least.
I love music that is ìmoodî music for road tripping, reading, relaxing, writing, or sitting on a sun drenched porch or by an open window during a rain storm.
