Friday Favorites

Little V is still sick. It is cold and windy.  It is snowing (again) this morning and there is more snow in the forecast.  There is a general funk hanging over the L house.

Time for music, music that moves your soul, music that makes you want to dance, music that creates its own sunshine.  On repeat in this house on this snowy day is Michael Franti's "Sound of Sunshine."  All of Michael Franti's music makes you feel good, makes you remember how great life is, but this song is just what we need today.  "I wanna go where the summer never ends, with my guitar on the beach there with all my friends, the suns so hot, the waves in motion, and everything smells like suntan lotion."  How can you argue with lyrics like that?  Today, we are making our own sunshine.  Listen to the song, close your eyes, and I swear, it's almost like you can feel the sun on your face.

I have talked about Michael Franti before, I really love his music, and what he's about.  Even got to meet him! (Sorry, about the picture quality, but you know, concert night & camera phones!)
