We are all impacted by a sense of place. We have our favourite vacation spots, hangouts, and places in which to relax. We have places that we’d like to visit. It’s no surprise, then, that there are so many songs written about places. This playlist takes you on a little …
I was listening to a song the other day that had some good slide guitar going on. I thought that a playlist highlighting some slide guitar, mandolin, pedal steel etc. was required. This was a fun one to put together. There are so many excellent artists and songs out …

Summer has passed us and we’re into fall. A little cooler temps, leaves changing, but still nice days to enjoy yourself. So, I thought what better than to have a little funkier playlist to enjoy the change in season. Well, Mother Nature always has had a special place in her …
