Music that Strikes a Chord — “Hang on to me Tonight,” by Mick Jagger from Wandering Spirit
Wandering Spirit was released in 1993. As I had never bought any Rolling Stones albums before, what possessed me to buy Mick’s album is a mystery. It’s the kind of sleeper music that takes a few listens before it hits you in the feels. There are several good tunes on this one. I like this…

bob dylan / photo jean-marie périer, Paris, June 1966 I decided to put Bob Dylan’s, “Blonde on Blonde” on while I tackled a Mount Olympian-sized pile of dirty dishes. Dang, why haven’t I listened to this double-album in so long. Blonde on Blonde is Bob’s seventh studio album, released on June 20, 1966. Recording sessions…
