Challenge of Music Blog Hop

I was really hard pressed to choose a favorite song, a favorite artist, or even a favorite music genre for this design challenge. I’m one of those types who like almost every type of music; with the exception of hard core rap. I enjoy listening to alternative, blue grass, folk, classical, R & B, and […]
