The Seasonal Mix Series is an inquiry in song about where we stand as the weather changes and the calendar pages leaf by.
The blue is returning to the sky and green shoots are poking up from the ground. As Tom Lehrer once tunefully observed, “Spring is here, spring is here/ Life is skittles and life is beer.” For whatever reason, folks seem more open to newness and change during this particular season, and given how fenced off and fixed in their ways so many people have become it’s a welcome movement whatever the catalyst. May this vernal shift find you fresh love, fresh prospects, and perhaps even plain ol’ fresh in the way that got DI’s chief’s ears boxed by nuns throughout his childhood.
Track listing below. If you experience playback problems pop over to the mix page and it should play fine.
