Wednesday Morning Music Shuffle - Sam and the First Day Mix
Tweet #E2TG
So... I've been feeling the need to work on some of my own creative pursuits - not that Ear to the Ground doesn't use my creativity - and to that end, I began a short story???? something that I have given the working title of Sam and the First Day. That's all I'll say for now...
Now to the shuffle:

Tweet #E2TG
So, here we go... after several months of waiting, I finally have a 32GB card in my phone and to celebrate I added a random 20GB (left room to grow) sampling of my entire digital library and then I randomly shuffled that 20GB and the resulting Morning Music Shuffle is after the jump:

Thursday Morning (Covers) Music Shuffle - Heartache to Heartache Mix
Editorial Aside - Once again the state of my birth and residency has become a focus of the world's derision. I would say laughingstock, but it's not funny. Just a few weeks after the suicide of teen who was bullied repeatedly about his sexuality, the state legislature (I refuse to capitalize it) is proposing a measure which essentially legalizes bullying of gay students by "christian" (again I refuse to capitalize this word and I deliberately put it in quotation marks) students. At the same time, through gerrymandering, the progressive State Capital city has been politically neutralized. Can a city secede from a state? I'm finding it hard to say how ashamed I am of this state. As a Christian (though not one of those "christians") and as a Tennessean (Nashvillian) I beg for forgiveness and pray this evil law does not pass.
So, on to the covers...
