So wonderful this music, Diane K24. I kid about having (in heart and mind) a sentimental jukebox. Its contents are largely connections with my past. Most of your proffered songs reflect my musical anchors. I’ll enjoy listening to them. “You can’t listen to good songs too many times.”

Some of my all-time favorites! Finally got to vote this morning (no early voting in NH). But I’m regretting that coffee, even though it’s what keeps me sane. I didn’t need the extra jitteriness. Heading out for a walk, then back to listen to every single one of these. 💙🇺🇸💙

Excellent choices, Diane. And so thoughtful. We're doing all we can to get through tomorrow because, at this point, there is nothing any of us can do. See you on the other side. Hugs.

True! There are so many good ones. Michael Moore put out a list too.

Brilliant post, Diane.

For a dance song, in honor of the passing of the great Quincy Jones today, I'd add “Soul Bossa Nova” (1962)
