Belated New Years to me...


i spared you the operation picture...

so i've been wrestling with this entry.
For a number of reasons.

a couple of weeks back, i'd decided in honor of my one year recovery, June 28th, i'd make a little mix and share it with you guys.
but true to form, life happened, Mikey died and the mix i'd created just started to seem silly.

the concept is/was to pull together the tunes that i listened to while on bed (ar)rest. In hindsight, it was a good summer for music listening, even though all I wanted to do was get up and out.

I sold myself on the idea and put in a little work. Then came the string of MJ parties and living life and "making up for a lost summer" and i walked away from the computer and everything since.

all this to say... I finally went back to the rough mix, and fixed some of the levels, to share with you.

PLEASE keep in mind... I'm no dj. Some bits might still be pokey, but these songs and moments pulled me though a tough time. and i'm eternally thankful for their presence.
They were my best friends and also moments of hope.
At times painful to hear... longing to sing along, even though the doctor told me not to.

so here it is.
happy. new. year.
