The Soundtrack of Neon Songstress
Press Play: A Welcome Playlist
If you could understand my taste in music from one playlist, this would be it.
These aren’t necessarily all of my favorite genres of music, my all-time favorite songs, or the biggest hits from the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s. What these are, are some of the songs that shaped my love of music, sparked memories, and continue to find their way back onto my turntable, playlists, and headphones.
Some make me want to roll the windows down and sing at the top of my lungs. Others take me back to a specific place or season of life. Together, they tell the story of the music that inspired this blog.
So, press play, stay awhile, and welcome to Neon Songstress.
