Now that I’ve found a more reliable place for you to stream my delightful mixes, I’ll be resuming my monthly mix of awesome songs.  Here’s January’s.  It’s even on time, too. Bundle up and stay warm in all this snow, my Midwestern friends. Listen to my ten songs on repeat while you watch the snow fall.
