Yesterday, while in the shower, I began spontaneously singing (to myself, not out loud…not that there’s anything wrong with that): 🎶Shower the people you love with love….Show them the way that you feel.🎵 If you were alive in the 1970s (or had parents who were) you probably recognize this…

Mind walking visions of James Taylor on vinyl — A nasty voice inside me screams “Wanker! You are listening to a James Taylor album again. Stop that!” No, I will not stop. I keep listening.
