Lately I’ve been thinking about how I want to force everyone I love to make me a mix-tape (sic/ mp3 playlist) of their all time favorite songs. So that I can have on handy supply a collection of albums for when I miss a particular person or another, or want to be inspired by the energy and vibe of one or another loved one.
.
I’ve yet to act on that. But, just now, while pausing in the middle of a particularly long writing session, I somehow had the thought that I’d really love a Georgia O’Keeffe album to put on. You know, either songs that she listened to, or songs that would make me feel like I was standing out in the middle of nowhere under the New Mexico sky with a canvas in front of me as the light shifts around the mountains.
.
These things should totally exist. Both in my personal life, but also for public figures of a particular energy or creative force. Does something like this already exist? Can someone send me a Georgia O’Keeffe playlist, pretty pls?
.
(Update: Oh, wow, thank you to all of those who sent me links to O’Keeffe feeling tunes upon reading this. I’m amazed and appreciative of how many of you had suggestions! This is definitely a project that demands further exploration!)
