Winter Playlist: January 9-16, 2025
We haven’t done music in a while, so for this week’s assignment, curate a winter playlist that captures the essence of your winter mood or just features favorites you like to listen to this time of year. Submit a link to your list via Spotify or other app, or just send the titles and artists for me to try to put together and share with the group.

“Snowfall Cha-Cha” George Shearing
“Have yourself a merry little Christmas” Judy Garland (for some cheeky Judy look up the song “I don’t care”)

Holiday Album recommendations:
“Barenaked for the Holidays” Barenaked Ladies
The “ELF” soundtrack

Last addendum:
“A Taste of Honey” by Herb Alpert and the Tianuana Brass- makes me wish I played some bold brass instrument.
