Imagine Dragons at work today. Not as much as I'd like though due to constant visitors to my desk!

Listening to one of my favourite small venue Irish artists. He's a regular in the Irish pub scene in the Mid-Atlantic area and he's really talented. Seamus Kennedy is worth traveling to see.
Why can't we give love that one more chance? Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love?..
Cause love's such an old-fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
Nice choice.
Listening the Garth Brooks 'First Five Years'. A good collection.
The sublime, superb, haunting, flawless, Edith Piaf: With the wonderful song (chanson?) "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien".
Lost a very dear friend/boss/mentor/sister/mother figure at work this week.
She was only 61, no age at all really.
It was sudden. An aneurism. One minute she talking to us and laughing with us, the next she was complaining about a very severe headache. 6 ours later she was gone. We miss her dearly.
An educator for 40 years. She was our Principal. She referred to our students as "baby birds".
Explaining it to the kids has been incredibly hard and draining. They loved her too. She, and I, and several others worked the morning K-2 car rider drop off line together. Those kids would run to her for hugs and tell her all sorts of things. She was a rock star to them and we the faculty as well.
RIP Ginger Tucker.
Sorry for your loss, - she sounds as though she was a wonderful person - but your post is a moving reminder of what an inspiration - a truly life-affirming and life-changing inspiration - a really good teacher and educator can be to those with whom he or she come in contact, be they colleagues or students.
Listening to some Otis. Today is the 50th anniversary of his death. This song was his final masterpiece, a truly great song.
Two of my all-time favorite songs...
Ghost In The Shell trailer cover song...
It could take me days writing a list of my Top 100 favorite songs just from the 1980's alone. And to mix up each decade would be hard enough with different genres.
"Enjoy The Silence" sounds 80's but came out in 1990. Dramarama's "Anything Anything" sounds 90's but came out in the 80's. It's like "44 Lines For 88 Women" sounds fresh but came from the 1980's.
The 1980's was the greatest decade of all-time for music and was still terrific for films. I like Guardian Of The Galaxy films because it makes me appreciate 1970's songs. I am aware of them all. I love 60's not solely because for The Beatles, The Doors, Hendrix, Rolling Stones, and The Beach Boys but also for bossa nova. Astrud Gilberto is one of my favorites ever next to Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66.
Let's warp into the 1980's for this song while chillaxin' at a Starbucks...
1987
^ It sounds kinda 90's like "Fields of Gold" but it was released in the 80's. Actually it sounds timeless like Sade and U2 songs. Sting/The Police or Phil Collins/Genesis, love them both.
