Songs to enjoy on crisp November days…lay on the floor by the record player or take a CD on a drive to watch the leaves fall…paint and dance and bake…whatever we like in the moment.  November is a time of complete peace leaving air space for all kinds of beautiful energy to get your soul swaying.  The moon is bright and coaxing me to put on another record…
