His iconic debut album was just the start of Marc Cohn's long career in music, which has been fraught with devastating set backs, and now includes a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.

I have a soft spot for piano-based singer-songwriters, and his first two albums were in heavy rotation at our house growing up. I got to see him live with my dad once. I hope the best for him.

I have mixed feelings about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but my tweenage heart could not resist watching Salt'n'Pepa get inducted. It was so fun to watch.

I have not seen the adaptation, nor is this technically a song selection for #tuesdaytunes but rather a post to encourage you to read this incredible portrait of what warfare is really like. I think that it's very unfair to cast it as anti-war, as it is a realistic portrait of WWI trench warfare told in prose so evocative that it could have been published today. Magnificent!
PS-if you need a smile then watch the independent YouTube video (Cont)

It's been cloudy today and is supposed to finally be in the 60s by the end of the week for a HIGH! I'm pretending it's chilly right now and am (seriously) listening to blizzard sounds. It's quite relaxing and is helping to put me in a fall spirit.
