Your music posts are wonderful -- they bring back all the emotions that swirled around this music for me in the 80s and early 90s. I'd forgotten about Tanita Tikaram!
What lovely, soothing sounds for a day of unnerving news we hear! Thanks for the commentary and for personalizing the music...it’s how it’s meant to be!
You teach me something new about music every single week Mary. Thank you.
Exactly!

Right!? I came here for the politics but the music posts have been such a delight.
Same here, mdt!
This is my first introduction to Tanita Tikaram.
Your writing is beautiful and your cultural path is so reminiscent of my own that it is a treat to return to it through your writing.
Well said, William!
I saw Tracy Chapman perform at a church near Harvard Square just before her career broke wide open. What a performer!

What a treat at the end of a trying day. Sincere thanks.
Just wow . . !
Such powerfully beautiful insight into the music of equally powerful, and beautifully insightful artists. I hope they all see this amazing post.
Thank you, Mary, for your insightful post. I enjoy your deep musical selections.
I also came here to share and recenter after days of political hell.
Then unexpectedly you inserted thoughtful music that is soothing with meaningful lyrics. It's the balm many of us needed.
Yes!
Wow. What fun discovering you!
Thank you for making me discover those songs !
I love this! Thank you Mary🙏🏻👍
This was quite moving. I listened to several early SV cuts. Thank you.
I love it! I love to heard you, I love your voice. Thanks for all your work Mary Lea!
Thank you.. it was like a trip back in time to listen to Vega again. What a treat. Stay well! 💜
Thank you for these! I was a huge Tanita Tikaram fan, and as soon as I read your little section on her I could hear the velvet voice again.
