The perfect Music Monday song for early December is one that moves me mentally to a warm tropical island … Bertie Higgins and Just Another Day in Paradise is that song for today (his website: BertieHiggins.com). Ah … memories of sailing Brenich with Brenda in the 1980s … or just staying warm nowadays! 😉 […]

In keeping with my steady diet of 1970s music for Music Monday, last week Little River Band’s Cool Change from 1979 triggered a “wish I were sailing” thought just as it did when I was in college.
