“Small Blue Thing” by Suzanne Vega

This song blew me away when I first heard it.  I wished (and still wish) that I had written it.  Her songwriting, guitar-playing, music and tone of voice are (dare I use this word?) perfect.

Suzanne Vega is probably the most elegant, concentrated, delicate and literate among songwriters, whether female or male.

I am, and will always be, a fan.  And I am hard to please.

“Lullaby for an Anxious Child” by Sting

I heard this song a couple of years ago or so.  It made me cry.  Sting is … my absolute favorite contemporary male songwriter, musician, singer, performer.  His imagination and musical taste are impeccable.

Thank you for listening!

Love,

Dreamer of Dreams
