A crack in the door (Eclectic Playlist Series 8.07)

Here I go again, mixing the familiar with the less familiar, rock and pop with soul and jazz, the new wave with the old guard, and sprinkled throughout with a batch of 21st-century goodies. While on many days I wonder at the foolishness of my endeavor here--today's music scene seems definitively to have hoisted my taste and perspective into a box gathering dust in our cultural attic--I try to rise above the doubts by reminding myself that fashion is a different filter than quality, and however many people are out there chasing shiny objects, there remains a persistent bloc of artists who care about longer-standing standards of craft and musicality. Thus the aforementioned "21st-century goodies," as well as my inclination to circulate them in and among quality songs from decades gone by. If you're out there listening I appreciate your time and attention more than you know. For more info visit https://fingertipsmusic.com/?p=22456.
