Saw this band for the first time this summer at Red Rocks, when they opened for James Taylor. Really liked them a lot.

This a beautiful song, with fantastic harmony.

SereneSeagull · ‎12-17-2025

Haven’t heard that, but will try at some point. Can’t now as it’s a bit hard for me with songs sometimes. I like that you did that on his birthday though. Birthdays are hard. To your Dad… 🍷

After watching Motown Christmas, I'm definitely in a Motown mood!!

SereneSeagull · ‎12-10-2025

Yes! Wasn’t that good?! I came in on the tail end of it. Really a fantastic mood lifter for the holidays!

My brother was able to find the guitar chords and lyrics to the song 'Dancing in the Moonlight' so we added it to the list of songs we sing at our family's annual 'hootenanny'. I found three versions: the original (?) by Boffalongo, the popular King Harvest version, and my favorite by Toploader. Can't stop singing it to myself lately!

Found some amazing music onboard a flight back to the States from New Zealand. It was a compilation of Asian flavored new age and soft jazz from Pacific Moon Records, "Healing Collection", featuring piano, flute, guzheng, koto, and erhu music. It has helped a great deal of late, especially while recovering from triple bypass surgery. This is one of my many favorites of that genre. It features Missa Johnouchi playing a 25 string koto. Ms Johouchi is a UNESCO Artist for Peace trained in Japan and Paris. This piece evokes the flutter of butterflies:

Another favorite is Seaside from Naoyuki Onda with an upbeat jazzy flavor:

Really, anything by Johouchi and Onda is great but there are many more artists you may like in this genre like Jia Ping Fang and Jiang Xiao-Qing. Like Mizuyo Komiya's relaxing Spring Rain (25-string koto only):
