As I lay here with a fever, I'm trying to think of things I can do that don't require energy and don't involve a T.V. Well, iTunes has become the solution.

It's fascinating how circumstances, location, friends and spiritual health can all have such a big impact on what kind of music we listen to! (well TV too, for that matter!)
Bethany Dillon, Lifehouse, Travis and Yael Naim are my fav. artists at the moment... but like I said, these things change all the time!

Don't Worry, Be Happy is Bobby McFerrin. Is it bad that I distinctly remember that being the #1 song in the US? He's incredibly talented, everyone should listen to more of his work.
Not a single Lone Strangers song on the list, I see. Hmm...
