Hazelnuts

I don't always listen to music when I run. When, I do the songs come from one of two play lists. I have one for travel and one for jogging around town. Many of the songs overlap on the lists and the largest library of songs unsurprisingly come from Sister Hazel. When I first traveled over sea in the 90s I carried a WalkMan. Do you remember those? I took 16 batteries with me so my extended stay in the Middle East would be filled with music. Side note, don't take a bunch of batteries to the Middle East. Back to the story, at that time Sister Hazel's album Somewhere More Familiar had gained them entree in the world of pop music, where they did not last very long. Nonetheless, I have taken their music with me ever since, part out of superstition, but mostly as I enjoy the tunes from the original rock-n-roll band from the Sunshine State of Florida.

Being at their concerts, no matter where, always takes me back to places near and far. Combined the songs and the locations all of hold fond memories. 

 Enjoy music. Enjoy the world. Run.
