Musings on Walk-On Songs

The sun is out in my part of New England. In true springtime fashion, however, the sun may not equate warmth with temperatures fluctuating from 30 to 60 degrees depending on the day. Temperature notwithstanding, I am finding that the soundtrack to my life fills my days with warmth and the right kind of energy. 

While I make an odd playlist here or there to create a soundtrack to elevate a program, workshop or even a course that I am teaching, I don’t spend time on these efforts like I used to. I respect those in my life who do have this drive, and am in awe of those in popular culture who literally make playlist curation an artform.  However, I do have three go-to songs that I consider my “walk on” songs to set the stage for the day or moment ahead.
