Music Mondays – November 2018 Playlist

This November playlist is a bit different than those that have come before it. I have generally kept my playlists for this month moody and mellow, but my November 2018 playlist is quite the opposite. It is upbeat and meant to get your toes tapping and put a smile on your face.

In the past, I have found myself run down and very much in need of a break and reset by the time November rolls around, something you can pick up on in my November playlists of yesteryear. This year however, November marks the month when everything in my life is starting to fall into place in a way that is nothing short of serendipitous. So, I hope you will all humor me this month and join me in rocking out to some happy tunes meant to wrap up your year in a joyous fashion.
