This month my act is the legendary duo Daryl Hall and John Oates.

In no order of preference…

Day 8. It’s A Laugh (1978)

One of the first songs I knew by them. I’ve always thought it should have been a much bigger hit than it was. Great song! 🎶

A great new essay from my wonderful wife Lisa.
New essay up today: Turning the Noise Down.

On protecting attention, returning to reading, and being more deliberate with my time.

Day 3. A song you play when you're happy

I'm going to go waaaaay back to 1977 for this one:

Daybreak (Live) - Barry Manilow

If I'm not already happy before it starts, I'm most definitely happy before it ends! 😀🎶😀

February ️3 - The word 'Red' is in the title or lyrics

For reasons I no longer remember, I hated this song when it was brand new...but I grew to love it a lot over the years. 😀🖤

In addition to loving "Red Rubber Ball" because it's a great song, it also holds a special place in my heart because I recently learned it was recorded on the day I was born. 😁🌞
