Alexander Cardinale's "Peace Train" Is A Worthwhile Journey
Acclaimed singer-songwriter Alexander Cardinale is best known for his hit song “Made for You”—the track that became a global sensation as the theme song for Coca-Cola’s Share a Coke and a Song campaign. After a 5 year hiatus from music, he’s back in a big way with a new and modernized version of the 1971 classic by Yusuf/Cat Stevens “Peace Train.” The song has long been known as an anthem of unity, hope, and peace. Cardinale’s new rendition expands on that spirit and adds his own deeply personal touch - based on events that affected his family directly.

An Arboreal Playlist
Introduction In the seventies, I knew of a band called Trees but dismissed them as another folk band, but recently one of the Facebook groups I am in posted one of their songs and I was so impressed that I bought the fiftieth-anniversary collection above, and have been mightily impressed by their work, and given the live songs on here they are still with us in some form (with more original members that the Human League).

Singing My Way to Spanish Fluency Through Music
Have you ever tried learning a new language, only to feel like your brain is tangled in a mess of words—even in your own native tongue? That’s exactly where I find myself after 178 days of learning Spanish (along with Portuguese and refreshing my French) on Duolingo. Some days, I feel like I’m making real progress; other days, my pronunciation trips me up, and my confidence wavers. My husband jokes that all this language learning has even muddled my English—which, considering my family history, might not be too far off the mark.
