Saturday Music: Joe Purdy, Wash Away
•
I’ve liked this song for awhile now, there’s something lovely and dreamy about it. When I thought about the lyrics, it seemed so appropriate to post it today, the day between Good Friday and Easter. How do we even begin to fathom the washing away of sins that happens with…

Friday Music: Ring of Fire
•
The last few days have been nutso at work. Nuts, I tell you. It’s been super busy, reminding me of the old dotcom days, well, except without dial up. There was something about the frenzied pace that made me sentimental for Johnny Cash. Back when I worked at Quokka, we’d…

Today my sister and her husband and my guy and me all went out to Filoli. It’s a gorgeous estate with large gardens located just about 15 minutes from us. We try to go each year to see their amazing meadow hill full of daffodils. It’s a sight to see,…

Friday / Saturday Music: Just Like Heaven
•
After some technical difficulties yesterday, I now present my “Friday Music,” which is “Just Like Heaven,” by Katie Melua. I love the mellow guitar, her dreamy voice, and feel like it’s an awesome cover of The Cure’s original classic tune. Was there anyone else who once thought that the first…

Friday Afternoon Music: Elevator Love Letter
•
There’s a little band from Canada called Stars, and I thought I needed to share this lovely tune with everyone for the reprisal of Friday Music. Here is “Elevator Love Letter”: I’ve found myself listening to this song on repeat, and wanting to climb into it and live the music…

Music

If you know Welcoming Spirit, you know that I like to do a music post once a week. Music has always been a big part of my life. I have some favorite memories as a kid in the formal dining room, with my Dad playing drums with chop sticks on…
