Birthdays bring all sorts of emotions and as always, music was there for a soundtrack as I marked another year on this planet. I started writing down this list of songs that resonated with me, particular tracks that seemed picked for the occasion. Thanks as always to
KEXP,
KCRW and
WFUV's "The Alternate Side" for providing the awesome background music in the car, at my desk and even at the gym throughout the day. The final song here is off a CD I purchased for myself, the Reverend Al Green's
Everything's OK, after hearing the romantic tune "Perfect To Me" on
NPR's World Cafe a while back. The mighty soul master accompanied me in the car going out to dinner and this song made the perfect capper to any occasion -- a dance in the kitchen.
