🎧 And now … a little music 🎧
I’m just loving this opening quartet of the latest ‘New Adventures in Spotify.’
A Wang Chung classic, superb tune from Aaron Lee Tasjan, the great Elton John, and the awesome Velvet Underground.
Then it’s off to the races with a merry mix of great music.
Have a nice weekend!
