It’s my #birthday, help me make a #playlist!

With gratitude to
@ErickaSimone who made a similar post a couple of weeks ago! I loved this idea and sent the eclectic set of songs below that always improve my mood.

I also began a playlist with these songs to listen to when I feel overwhelmed by all the !$@%}#!? we’re all living through right now. Help me celebrate my birthday by adding to my playlist!

- Great Heart by Johnny Clegg & Savuka
- Everybody Loves the Sunshine by Roy Ayers Ubiquity
- A Good Life by Jill Sobule
- Pata Pata by Miriam Makeba
- Drinkee by Sofi Tucker
- Janie Jones by The Clash
- Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting by Charles Mingus
- God is a DJ by Faithless

My taste in music genres is pretty wide ranging as the 8 songs demonstrate. I don’t listen to a lot of pop, not to put down anyone’s faves. I was the weird kid at your school listening to both Woody Guthrie and the Dead Kennedys, so you can see how pop might not be my jam.

I do think Sun Ra and The Cure join together harmoniously on a playlist (I just discovered this recently)!
