...as is the case every Spring, the calendar bulges from the seams with to do lists and endless tasks, leaving only minutes at a time, like loose change jingling in one's pocket, for working on the next project.
When those precious moments do arise, the playlist I turn to for inspiration is locked and loaded with the usual suspects...
Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews, Muse and the like. A steady beat, some lyrical drawl, a steady tap tap tapping to the rhythm of fingertips on keys.
...and then there's these guys.
Reddy Freddy is a local band, their bass player and I are in neighboring cubicles at the day job, the two of us yearning for a little something more...just that one big hit.
I've added their latest release to my playlist, and considering it's mellow soul, thought perhaps my peers may want to do the same.
Give it a listen...Reddy Freddy with their latest hit, "DNA."

Nicki Elson's latest, "Divine Temptation," is currently available on Amazon...
Maggie Brock has everything under control. Even her divorce, though painful at the time, only registers as a minor blip in her carefully constructed universe. Her life in Prairie Oaks has once again returned to a smooth, predictable pace...until an angel shows up in her bedroom. The angel is just as bewildered as Maggie about why he's been sent to her, but their unsuccessful efforts to gain understanding of the mystery fade to the background as their relationship grows. Soon, Maggie's biggest problem becomes the angel himself, as her feelings for him develop into something less than saintly. While Maggie struggles to keep her desires pure, a nefarious being lurks in the shadows of Prairie Oaks, watching and waiting for the opportunity to fulfill his ambiguous purpose. Preying on her conflicted emotions, the demon manipulates her at every opportunity, but the one to deliver Maggie directly into his hands is the last person she'd expect.
