Pink Floyd – Song of the Day for Today

Take It Back

Today, getting on the road to spend the day caring for our youngest grandson, the sprawling arena rock sounds of English progressive rock superstars Pink Floyd came to life on the car stereo with their environmental anthem, “Take It Back.” The song, from their album Division Bell (1994), is one I didn’t know before hearingContinue reading “Take It Back”

Hello You Who

This week through a friend in Colorado, I learned of a band, Elephant Revival, and I started looking for some music by them.
