Splendid morning music mix

I scroll down the entire length of my Media player library -- surely small in comparison to some; made up only of album tracks I actually own -- find there's an album or two I haven't listened to in a while. I click on Styx Greatest Hits. I think I'm going to get the first track: Lady (from 1995), but the highlighted track is actually, Show Me The Way, and it starts to play. I'm pleased as I wouldn't have sought it out specifically, but I like it.

I think the program is going to play me the whole Styx album, track by track, but the next song that plays is from a different album -- a favorite album -- Jami Lula. But he is covering Dylan's, Make You Feel My Love. Amazing. Followed up by Eagles', Hotel California. Then Sting, Something the Boy Said. I mean, sure it's my music library, but when random gives you a great streak of the unexpected, without a clunker among 'em. That's splendid!

Best line from Tin Man (2007)

"Why? Someones gotta keep your wide eyed optimism in check."
