Chicago VII


I'm still glad I have my subscription to Apple Music since there's a lot of great stuff, some familiar, some niche. I've been trying to listen to all of Chicago's albums starting with their debut Transit Authority (and I first heard of the band when my dad started playing compilation albums in his car when I was still in high school, which was ages ago). I love the fusion primarily of jazz and rock, and their seventh album is in my mind one of their best with plenty of standout, toe-tapping tracks. Some of the lyrics are a bit asinine at times (like "snow, snow, snow, snow, snow, snow, snow..." in "Song of the Evergreens"), but the music largely compensates for them.

The Secret of Life

Hearing James Taylor's "Secret O' Life" on the season three finale of The Orville gave me the idea to listen to some of his tracks on Apple Music, and damn, he's talented, great soothing voice, one of my favorite male musicians.



I've also taken a sabbatical today from gaming to focus on my half of an art trade with a furry on Discord, and I'm making good progress, hoping to have the lining done before my dental appointment.
