This is music---whether you think it sounds like music or not! (John Cage said so!) I love all of these songs even though the are varied and strange and not cut from the traditional pop / Top 40 cookie cutter machine… (More probably, I like them BECAUSE they don’t sound like standard tunes…) Give this stuff a listen. There’s some extremely entertaining music in this mix! Ready? Let’s do it!

---The reading of the playlist… (Majestic trumpets and angelic choruses ring out… Actually, I might have talked for a bit TOO long… Sorry!)
These are songs. I played them because I like them. I hope you enjoy them too. I picked these tracks for educational / appreciation purposes only. My hope is that folks will hear and LIKE some of these tracks, and then look up the artists and purchase work from them. I like music, quite a bit, actually, and I want it to continue to be made well into the future, but I also don’t want entertaining and original music to slip through the cracks of time and disappear. Keep them tracks SPINNING!!!
