Dearest,
It has been much too long, and yet no time at all. I have missed your glowing face and your lilting, musical tones. The way you are wise beyond your years, yet fresh and laughing, anew, with each rise and fall of the sun.
Oh, Internet, let us never part again.
Yours,
Rachel.
.... Yes, I am on the line once more. No more work computer reliance or eye dysfunctions from using my telephone. And as a gift, here are some pretty darn beautiful melodies that I am rejoicing in of late.

Laura Jean
Beautiful 2011 album that shows the continuous bloom that is Miss Laura Jean and her brilliant band. Putting together a haunting yet strong album, A Fool Who'll is melancholic folk with a backbone, with crescendos in all the right places.

A new friend put me onto Lizzie. Seattle based, I think the name of her latest offering says it all. She does sound like an old soul. One to watch, i'll keep you posted.

This. Album. I can't actually stop playing it. She has an earthy, infectious quality to her voice and an ability to tell a story. If you buy one album for a person for Christmas, make it this one. Available through Poison City Records.
