This month’s playlist is another total mixed bag with some groove that puts that little extra something in your step.

One’s musical taste is developed in three acts: junior high, high school and college. That was the 1980s for me. And the biggest influence on us Gen Xers can be summed up in three letters: MTV.

There are many great songs about this great town, and this is just a little ten song collection of some of my favorites from a mix of eras and genres.

Sometimes I’m in the mood for a good instrumental, like a film score or a piece of classical. This week’s list includes some favorites.

For this week, a little feel-good bubblegum to lighten the mood.

It’s been a rough haul for a myriad of reasons. A real pressure cooker. This playlist was spawned from an urge to “bust out” a little bit with some of my favorite rock tunes.
