#Growns you know it’s Friday and well… ok yes you probably have things to do, responsibilities and all that good stuff that we have to do as adults. However, you know this is February and I recently celebrated a birthday(Feb. 6th for those of you keeping score at home) and as a self-professed Love Man I thought it would be the responsible thing to share some musical love as it were. Now the first caveat I’m nobody’s DJ, I like to think of myself more along the lines of a curator, someone who can do the audio equivalent of you should wear those shoes with that suit or the steak would be best paired with this wine. So I’m keeping the set short this first time out(just under 30 minutes)but hopefully, you can get a taste of where these types of mixes can head if you like. It’s like I always say “We’ll keep the music coming as long as you keep coming to the music.”
So tell your friends and heck maybe even some of your enemies that there’s a new curator in town, a Love Man who is curating music in hopes that he can bridge the gap so that the next wave will be GFM inspired “just great music” as the criteria for listening.
The mood here is mellow.
