music for artful bloggers



i have a playlist on my ipod called 'artful blogger' that i put on most mornings when i sit down at my computer with a cup of english breakfast tea, ready to have a daily dose of gorgeous ponderings from beautiful people around the world.

for a while i've been wanting to share this list of some of the most beautiful songs i know. i also want to give something to those lovely people who visit me here and to those bloggers who brighten my day. here is the list...you can check out their websites or find them on itunes. but if you would like i'd be happy to make a cd of this collection and send it to you. just send me your snail mail info to vivienne.mcmaster@gmail.com and i'll pop it in the mail for you (i don't mind send this across the world to you by the way...so don't be shy!)

i've always love making mixed tapes. remember the days of mixed tapes! i still love making them in that format but not everyone has a tape player anymore! these are some of my favourite artists, some of them friends. so, without further ado...

It's always great to have music recs. The Martin Sexton and Richard Shindell selections are 2 of my favs already, as well as Patti Griffin's "Forgiveness." Maybe this will get me inspired to give jpg a rest and post a list myself! Keep up the good blogging and thanks!

OOh, MUSIC!!! I am completely intrigued by that list as I haven't experienced some of them before - Martin Sexton's Glory Bound is one of my all time favs. So I bet I will love the others, too!! What a sweet post!
