First up tonight…

Last before bed…reminds me of a ‘Taken By Trees’ CD I have…almost Arabic in its sound…

Think I was hoping for solemn laments and haunting violins reflecting the dark lochs and mountain peaks, rather than a more modern take on Scottish traditional music…’keyboards’ should have given it away…title track is more like it but then drifts into a reggae type beat with pipes…

The huge hole in our hearts still screams…🤍 #SuicideAwareness #MentalHealthMatters

Second of the charity shop finds…this Cuban artist reminds me of Sade…

First play of this one…definitely what I expected…country/blues/bluegrass sound…

You have to sort the feelings and emotions part before they become excited about learning…if they are holding onto, and dealing with, negative things (sadness, scared, angry, anxious, tired) they will never be in the right space or mindset to learn. First ✅ must be ‘do they feel safe and happy’…

Next up…may be last one before bedtime…seemingly the favourite band of The Cure 😉 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Some charity shop CD finds this week…

Up next… Adrianne Lenker and Buck Meek ‘A-sides and Besides’…
