Donna Summer: Once Upon a Time… (1977)
IMHO, her masterpiece, and as I have written of many times before, an album that holds a very special place in my heart even though the men I shared its magic with are long departed from this life.
Once a legitimate blog. Now just a collection of memes 'n menz.

My commentary here.
…wandering through new age/crystal shops after taking the ferry from San Francisco across the bay to Sausalito during a balmy late autumn afternoon. It was one of those things you did with new boyfriends or out-of-towners after the obligatory walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. In fact, I believe it was in one of those new age shops that I bought my original copy of this recording. Never fails to put a smile on my face. Simpler times, fer sure!
Some memories of that trip to Sausalito…
I stumbled upon Loscil when we were still living in Denver via some Sunday evening radio program on KUVO's second or third online stream. I love it for when I'm working and trying to concentrate, but ironically, I find it's also the perfect falling-asleep music. I crawl into bed, put in earbuds in, and I'm out.
Take me away, Philip.
