Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
You know I’m just a man / like any other man / Perfect is a thing I’ll never be / Awwww but it’s gonna be alright mmmm / It’s gonna be alright, listen to me / It’s gonna be alright / Wait and see / Wait and see
Week #2 of 2024. We’re still in good spirits, but I still have to say this cold and wind…yikes. Thank god for heating pads, hot coffee, and my old cashmere sweats my dad gave me. Year after year Kenny seemed to gift me the same sweats. I’d smile, try not to roll my eyes, graciously accept, and stash deep in my closet. So grateful for the warmth of an old friendly sweater this morning.
Oh yes and sweet music. Love and Other Crimes found its way onto my holiday turntable and “Wait and See” has become a bit of a mantra for me this new year. I love thinking about that famous first encounter between Sinatra and Hazlewood, bringing Lee into Reprise Records. Hazlewood thinks he’s gonna work with Frank. The Chairman walks in with Nancy says, “You kids go and make some records.”
Long story short, you just never know where life will take ya.
I must say, for the second week of the year I’m impressed with this playlist of mostly new songs and discoveries.
Enjoy.
Idelic Single of the Week: Sprints – Heavy
