Wildheart Playlist, Part 1
Hello, bookish friends! A reader asked whether I have certain music that I like to listen to while I write. I actually have a lot of trouble writing and listening to music at the same time (listening and painting at the same time seem to be OK, though). Does anyone else have this problem? At …
Rad Radio: Shotgun Rider (Tim McGraw)
I couldn’t resist this song. I mean, riding down the highway! Freedom! Love! Guitars! Crank the volume to enjoy, and have a wonderful weekend! Love, Emily

To get myself in the mood, here is HA-ASH with all of the gorgeous sounds. Happy weekend, guys! Don’t forget to …

Old West stylings, plus the soaring voice of the hella prolific Chris Cornell. Happy Friday!
Rad Radio: Bent to Fly (Slash, Featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators)
I have trouble writing while I’m listening to music, but if I’m working on a painting or sketch or other art project, I can’t get enough. This song caught my ear not only because of the rad opening, but also the lyrics. Time to crank your speakers and take flight! Love and …
