It's that time again! Time when I give the playlist, or as I like to call it, the "soundtrack" for my book, which in this case is my newest release, ONE SWEET DAY. These are all songs that are playing somewhere or characters are listening to them within the story.
Incidentally, there are no less than 3 Christmas songs in this playlist. ONE SWEET DAY isn't a Christmas story, though there is a section during the 40-year span where the reader is visiting with some of the characters for a Montana ranch Christmas, and that's when these songs are played.
The two Paul McCartney & Wings songs are a tribute to my mom. Mami LOVED Paul McCartney & Wings! Both songs also just had the right feel for the section in which they appear.
And "Sweet Beulah Land" was a song I'd never heard before until a friend who'd been very sick mentioned how much she loved it. My friend, Mary Ann, has since gone to be with the Lord. This song appearing in the book is a little tribute to her.
You can find all these songs on YouTube & they're all great. Enjoy!
