Friends, it's been a challenging year not just nationally (obviously) but personally; and I fear I've spent too much of it apologizing for late posts. I aim for monthly playlists but in 2025 they have turned bimonthly. I will try to take a deep breath and remember that it doesn't really matter, that there is in any case more than enough to listen to online were I never to make another mix. But hey if nothing else I must try to justify the $15 a month that Mixcloud extracts from my nonexistent budget. Let's see if I can at least get another two playlists in the hopper before year's end. In the meantime hit the play button and enjoy this new adventure through the decades and genres. More info at https://fingertipsmusic.com/?p=25776 . (By the way the English words on the sign in the photo read "It is in trouble," in case they are too small to see.)
