The world said a sad farewell to Kate McGarrigle today. I’d like to offer
up this tune (with her son Rufus Wainwright, Emmy Lou Harris, Mary Black and

On this ever so slow day at work, it's time to liven things up a bit! How about an R.D. Burman/ Asha Bhosle tribute ?

Sorry to be a bummer after all that 'feel good' morning music, Hubby DJ, but after a day of hearing doom and gloom about the state of the economy, I have to ask - when will we choose to move forward without being pummeled by fear?? In the meantime, maybe these will be food for thought... JOHN LENNON...

It was recently brought to my attention by one of our beloved DJ's (to remain nameless) that, as a result of my most recent (and, I might add, only my THIRD!) post, I could very well receive the reputation of being a 'softie'.
