The P-Town Playlist: Born This Way

The book is the P-Town Queen. Lady Gaga's Born This Way is perfect for the playlist. Don't be a drag! Just be a Queen!

The P-Town Playlist: I Run to You

Now and again, I like to share the music I listen to while writing.
For P-Town, the music was upbeat, mostly, and a mix of music styles from rock to pop to country.
I don't have a lot of country tunes on my i-pod, but I like this one,  I Run to You, by Lady Antebellum.  It kind of embodies the spirit of the book

Chances Are

At the opening of Blueberry Truth, Beanie has planned a romantic evening. Her husband, Mac, has an emergency at the hospital where he practices. Beanie's not happy about being stood up.

 Johnny Mathis has sung “Chances Are” four times now, and chances are not awfully good Mac will be home anytime soon. I try to be sympathetic; Mac is a pediatric cardiologist. His high-pressure job has irregular hours, and he’s stood me up before, though always with good reason. Mac wouldn’t be Mac if he didn’t go the extra mile for his patients. But despite all his good intentions, I’m about ready to throttle him.

 "Chances Are" was first released in 1957 and has been a favorite with romantics ever since. Here's Johnny Mathis, singing the original version.

Blueberry Truth is available as an e-book
