I get a warm feeling from seeing activity here. The old Audities was a
bright spot in a relatively dark period in my life and reignited my love
for music just when I needed it. Can't say why, but the FB group approach
doesn't do it for me.
What does do it for me is the new Brendan Benson album, particularly this
track: https://brendanbenson.bandcamp.com/track/babys-eyes
