Below is this month's list of my recommended songpicks of the day, which began on Nov. 26 2002.  If you enjoy them, spread the word!
Need an
audio player?
I highly
recommend
Quicktime
and
musicmatch
(click the song titles to go to a page where you can hear the songs, and click the artist or band's name to go to their official websites. Some songs are instant plays.)
These are LEGAL mp3 streams and downloads.

Please note that many of the following bands and artists are currently unsigned, or have chosen to work independently in their music careers. That's why word of mouth is so important, and that is why I have created this page.  I throw in some major label artists sometimes too, especially when I feel that they aren't receiving the kind of attention they deserve from the rest of the world.  The genres here tend to lean toward modern folk, indie pop, folk rock, acoustic anything and Americana, but isn't limited to only those.
