This Next one is dedicated to the the quiet of the Night
My Friend says, “at night, you can see the Stars”.

I have always loved the night, found my peace and strength during it, and knew it’s quietude. On the other hand, “darkness” is very pervasive as a metaphor for evil. As a “decent”, Christian man, I enjoy the quiet and solitude of the night. A friend wrote: “at night, you can see the stars.” The “enemy” — illogical things like uncaring, hatred and ignorance — comes against us at all times of day or night, in my experience.

Always remember to have hope and to trust in the goodness of the Universe. .

“Spring,” an emotional, sad & sweet and kind of heavy blues rock track with great instrumentation and a lead guitar that reminds me just a little of ELP’s Lucky Man, by “mart,” an anonymous artist from Kiev.

“Hey Lord”, a man asks the Lord for help in his life’s journey. I had to put these songs near the bottom of the list since it represents, oddly, my own life’s journey and where I was at various times in my life, in a progression. I was saved late in my life. 3:00

Music empowers my life. Born in 1957 in Washington, D.C., I started listening to a transistor radio in 1967 in St. Louis, Missouri. Even before this, as I child, I was aware of The Beatles and the Stones and listened in fascination as the older people I knew played this wonderful, new music. In jr. high and high school I played the cello.

Collecting in earnest beginning in 1971, I remember that my first album was The Doobie Brothers, “The Captain and Me.” Somehow I skipped the 8 track stage, thank goodness, but I have a very extensive vinyl, cassette, CD and digital collection, and if you want to talk with me about music, I’m always happy about that. I use music to shape my mood, to energize, cool down, for inspiration and however I want to feel, and I enjoy sharing it with people and talking about it. I couldn’t imagine how barren my life would be without music!

Paul’s Playlist is some very personal music for me. Buying music rights to stream music online is expensive and this music is not only important to me, somehow the playlist, down to the details of it’s order, represents my life’s journey.
