Mark Saleski's Friday Morning Listen

Mark Saleski is one of our finest and most regular contributors, and his ongoing Friday Morning Listen feature deserves special attention - we will collect them here:

    For some time now, I've had this little ritual. On Friday mornings I attach special significance to the first cd that I play. Don't know why. It seems like a mini-commentary (in my head) on how things are going for me. Maybe it's that I'm psyched to be at the end of a good week..the end of a bad one..or the start of a (hopefully) good weekend. This has never been completely clear to me. So a while back I started posting these selections on my website as "The Friday Morning Listen".

    Maybe at some point in the future I can make sense of it...

    Hear, hear! Always interesting choices and nice statements as to why, plus I don't think he's ever even once shirked his weekly "duty." I'm totally stealing inspiration from him with my "Song of the day" thing - but let's see if I can keep it up . . .

    I love Stevie, and "Black Man" from Songs in the Key of Life is one of my Stevie Top Ten; among many other assets, it has what has to one of the funkiest, thickest, rocking-est bass line in the history of R&B.
