Grandma presents: Favorite’s favorites

Happiest early birthday—birthday month—to my favorite person—my generous, hilarious, beautiful wife and best friend. You inspire me everyday to be the best person I can be and make it a joy doing my best to reciprocate that love to you. Your extensive knowledge and healing changes lives every second, year round, and you make it look effortless because you are passionate about helping people.

The music and artists and songs and art you have shared with me and that I will forever associate with you is incredible. Your eccentricities and far ranging tastes are a treasure trove of some of my favorites, thanks to you, and wildly reflects those same attributes (at least I hope) of myself.

This mix is an attempt to gather a sonic snapshot/representation of songs and artists that bring you joy (especially sad songs 😂) and display the variety for you and others to enjoy. Please join me in celebrating Christina with this mix. Cheers and thank you ❤️
