The allure of shuffle mode XCIII

When I want to hear music several hours before sunrise, I usually don't want to be startled with a barrage of high energy, manic tunes.  That's why I appreciated iTunes shuffle mode stringing these six songs together this morning, all taken from CDs I've bought over the years:

  • I'll Come Over-The Kennedys
  • The Week Before Easter-Martin Simpson
  • Schlaff, Kindlein, Schlaff-Freyda Epstein
  • Simple Gifts/Lovely Love-Barry Phillips & William Coulter
  • One Place-Everything But The Girl
  • Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most-Jane Monheit
Tasteful, subtle vocals and instrumentals get the morning off to a positive start, so I'm thankful that leaving my segues up to chance worked in my favor.
