I am having another mellow day at home today. I walked into town to buy some groceries and then made myself a little meal. I have been doing some research and vacation research and emailing while I enjoy a pot of tea. I decided I needed some music for my mellow mood and decided upon Hank Williams. And I feel really good about this decision for the following reasons:
1.) It's a combination of quick and slow songs, but the quick never get more frenetic than a jaunty two-step rhythm.
2.) Although it's not traditional Irish tunes (which was my other thought for today's soundtrack), it does fit with Ireland's country music heritage. (For those who don't know, country music was HUGE in Ireland in the 60s and 70s, even a bit into the 80s.)
3.) It makes me think of sharing a mellow day at home with my mom. (I downloaded her Hank Williams collection before leaving California. It's not that she listens to him all the time, but there are times when there's something pleasing about the simple melodies, slightly mournful optimism, and consistency of his songs.)
