Wow and thanks. I have a 22 year old godson who shares your son's musical tastes, and I'm hoping to get one up on him with Dawes. If not, now I have a new band. Woo hoo!

Thanks! I'm not sure how my son feels about them, because he never listens to anything I say or suggest.

I’m old but enjoyed the music greatly. So glad I still like the music I always liked, can find jewels that I missed along the way, and can find new treasures that speak to me. Thank you.

This is great, Greg. As a music lover myself, this describes my interest and need to hear music which is precisely that connection that brings very deep emotions to the surface. Music is cathartic to me.

I hope you let go and cry!

Thanks, Paulina. Oh, I cry all the time, ESPECIALLY when listening to music.

Spotify created a rousing playlist for the Queen. I was all ready to march until they snuck in Vera Lynn singing "White Cliffs of Dover." I'm a bit young to have heard it during the war, but I know popular music and history, so I just fell on the floor and sobbed.

So good, as always, Greg. Just want to say thanks.

Thanks for the recommendation, Greg. I'm always interested in hearing from people about bands they like. I had never heard of them, but I will check them out. My music collection is huge, but never big enough to get bigger!

Oh, they're terrific. When he's on, it's fire (as my son would put it).
