what the what (new playlist)

I've listened to all of my playlists so many times ... I am ready for a new one.  This one I still haven't tweaked, I don't know how good it is yet, but here it is anyway!  The title pretty much describes how I feel about it.  It's kind of bouncy, kind of upbeat, but not in your face.  It's for cooking, cleaning, or running an art group when you're struggling to stay awake.

Art Room Ladies playlist

I am working on some playlists to bring to the different art groups that I run.  Generally, I don't put music with words on in the art room, but lately I have been rethinking that approach.  I started playing some Carol King in my women's group and I realized that sometimes songs with words have a place.  I've made an "art room ladies" playlist for the groups when we are making art about fun things, or making fun things.

Like yesterday, we are making fun sailor hats so that when we talk about what makes us feel special we can wear hilarious hats.  And I'd like for these hats to make a reappearance after we have discussions about heavy things, like what makes us feel angry or what makes us feel disappointed.

(I don't know if I mentioned this here, but we are working on a long-term project, a book about "What Makes You Feel..." with words like "special," "beautiful," "angry," "disappointed," "vulnerable," etc)
