When I bring the music for a group, there is a period of feeling them out. Reading the room. Testing the waters. This usually happens in a sequence of 2-4 songs. Recently, I was undertaking this risky business and got quickly humbled. I realized I was in the company of those who prefer a more conventional and familiar sound. This playlist is for them.
