]]> This week we’re still pulling some key tracks from other blogs in the channel.  We are diversifying our portfolio so to speak.  Start out your day with some quality Jazz.  Some people don’t ‘get’ jazz.  Appreciation can be simple for jazz and any other genre – listen to it and pick out why it’s different from what you normally listen to.  For jazz, your mind will race at the complexity and magic of the sounds.  The Jazz and Blues Lounge is our online authority for Jazz and Blues and here are two key tracks.  Keeping with the jazz era The Good Musician gives us two of the greatest of all time. Crosby Stills and Nash

Next, add a little Hippie to your life.  Love your neighbor, get outside and take in the beauty of nature, and add these tracks to your portable record player…or iPod if you’re a New School Hippie.   Hippie Sounds offers a fantastic track from the most famous singer songwriter of our time and an absolute gem from Crosby Stills and Nash.
