My Top 10 of 2017
2017 was a moody music year for me, although I think I said that last year as well. There are some great new break out bands, singer/songwriters, and some old reliables. As usual with me, I don’t claim to be the music expert, but what I love, it’s with passion and commitment. Lets see what 2018 can bring.
