I know it sounds silly and trite to say that but it's true. We've all had moments, hours, maybe even days when we desperately need to "change the channel" and really good music has that power. As a matter of fact, nothing can transform the moment and/or my mood faster.

While I have a host of reasons to be thankful - family, great friends, good health, happy, healthy children - a really nice life all in all. Still, today I am struck by an overwhelming sense of gratitude for a deep and genuine love of music.

I'm grateful that it's a passion I share with my husband. I'm thankful we have such incredible access to live music here in the SF Bay Area, but most of all I'm just thrilled it's part, a very large part, of what I look forward to each and every day.

Here's a playlist of a few of my favorites as highlighted in MFT so far.

Happy Thanksgiving!
