We’re well into it now ~ the season of ice and snow. At this time of year, our emotions can head in multiple directions. Music is a constant, buoying voice that helps us to navigate the frigid terrain. We love winter, so we’re not rushing the warmer weather; even so, there are days when we’re snowed in, desperate for new music. May you find your next favorite album right here!
