It’s the 4th of July mid-way point of 2013.  Time to take a little look back at what music we are loving here.

Sorry, I’ve been out of touch…but with such limited releases at this time of year…I’ve taken some time off to finish my book (which is based on this blog) so it can be published this November.  More on that to come.
