	4:22pm Erica: This is such a relaxing set.
	🥁 4:23pm Brian in UK: The quality of the songwriting pre & post war over your way is astounding. For me peaked with Sinatra's mid Fifties albums.

	4:25pm Funky16Corners: Another song written by Charles Trenet
	4:27pm Sem: ...because of "Merry Christmas, Baby", and the role the Three Blazers played in the, ah, befuddled origins of the song. www.smithsonianmag.com...

	4:34pm Funky16Corners: This one's for Cupcake Jenny, if she's still listening...

	🥁 4:36pm Brian in UK: Larry, great selections given the time of year when those nights are filling up the days.
	🥁 4:37pm Mxter Baba: ↳ still b/p @4:32 The nostalgia weeper set. what's funny to me is I was into all this sentimental stuff when I was 17 ("and life and love were newwwww…")
	4:37pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:36 I was just noticing how short the days were getting the other morning. Late sunup, early sundown...
	🥁 4:38pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Mxter Baba @4:37 and now I GET it
