    I’ve listened to this playlist 3 times already. You have great taste in music and in how to create a rhythm/pace with it.

    Loving this. Want. More.

    I don’t have a full on playlist but I think Chopin was made for rainy days. I would just as soon listen to his piano sonatas, over and over, as the water drips down the windows and I move among the shadows of dim lamp light.

      I do love me some Chopin. Maybe you could start your own Rainy day playlist, come back, and share the link here?

    I’m an Austin girl, so I grew up going to Willie concerts. I think “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” is one of his best.

      If you don’t like that song… you aren’t human. 🙂
