Podcast 20 - Wisdom

As of January 8th, I am officially a dad. So far it's been a lot of work but not bad at all. He's just pretty cute. A little baby smile goes a long way toward deflecting any complaints. For the last couple months, I have been thinking about putting together a good mix of music for him. What I have assembled is a collection of songs which have connected with me in some way throughout the years. Some with a more overt message than others. There is no particular genre focus. I guess that variety gets at the implicit lesson that variety is the spice of life. And with that I'll cut it out with the prosaic aphorisms and let the music do the talking.

Thanks for listening and don't forget to support the artists,

Aaron
