"One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain." Bob Marley

So here we are.  The other day I experienced a moment of bliss when I stumbled across a musician I had never heard of on youtube.  The song "Skylarkin'" by the late Mic Christopher made me stop.  It is a sign of something great when you have no choice but to stop everything you are doing, turn up the volume and allow the song to wash over you.  Obviously not everyone reacts the same to every song but I think that every music lover has likely experienced a moment such as this.  As I listened to "Skylarkin'" for the third or fourth time in a row it really hit me how sad it is that a talent such as Christopher's could slip under the radar like so many overlooked artists.  And so I decided I would finally give this blog a try in order to share the music (old, new, under-rated and celebrated) that is inspiring me, amazing me and keeping me company as I find my way through my life.  So I hope you enjoy, at the very least, one song that I share and perhaps allow yourself a few minutes to lose yourself in something beautiful like this song "Skylarkin'"
