![]() Over the last couple weeks, two very dear friends have been involved in serious car accidents. "H" was driving home from church. "A" was on the interstate and swerved to avoid a refrigerator that fell off a truck going over 80-miles / hour. Thankfully both ladies are OK physically - most important. Their cars were not as fortunate. If YOU have a lead foot, please slow down. Children will be enjoying a school break. Winter weather can cause plenty of highway hassle. Roads are busier with the many errands that find their way into our world at this time of year. Take good care. Be safe. Enjoy this week's selections of vastly different styles of H-music: Something Old:Country and western music was a constant in our home when I was growing up. Loretta Lynn has a musical gift I've grown to appreciate over the years. Something New:The Marcus King Band's music has been described as "soul-influenced psychedelic southern rock." Take a listen to this winning combination - classic and modern at the same time. Something Borrowed:Two good friends told me about Pentatonix. One listen and I was hooked on their a cappella style. Check out their cover of Hallelujah - filled with Heavenly Harmony. Something Blue:When I can, I listen to The Blues Show (with Johnny Meister) on XPN (88.5) which runs on Saturday evenings (EST) starting at 7PM. I discover many musical treasures - including the sassy sounds of Ms Zeno the Mojo Queen. ShoutOutsUntil next "I"- week, wishing you peace and a song in your heart, mar

Holy H Mar! I just had a car accident! Two weeks ago driving home from work I hit a deer. Killed the deer (so sad) and wrecked my car. But I came out of it unscathed, except for being seriously shook up. And now going through the slow grind of dealing with insurance company to fix the car, and back to taking the bus to work. Sigh... Thanks for the music! V.

Good morning mar - Slowing down is good advice. I feel like I must have slept in this morning as 'mar's desk'seems to be a very busy place where my favorite people have stopped by already to leave comments and gather energy to go about their holiday hustle. Oh, and "soul-influenced psychedelic southern rock" made me laugh.

Thanks, Maria, for the H of it all, for the harmonious, happily selected harmonies. Hoping you and yours stay safe in these days of holiday hooligan-hurried horrendous haste. Here's to hunkering in your harbor and to a happy, hassle-free holiday. Going in for the tunes now. Running out of h words. Oh, wait. Hugs!

I love The Marcus King Band and Pentatonix. Very different kinds of music, but then again, I love all kinds of different music. Hehe.
