    It is my finding that no matter where a person is – Subway, the Corner Store, a local Shrimp Shack, etc – when this song comes on they can’t help but sing along. (even if it’s to themselves) It’s just one of those songs. A tragedy if you DON’T sing along. You waist a completely perfect sing along song.

    Bonnie Raitt – Something to Talk About

    I hope you took a few minutes to sing along with Bonnie.

    And if you didn’t, I hope you press play again. You’re welcome.

    I originally posted this song on November 16th, 2011. You know I rarely re-post a Music Snack, but I feel this one is more than deserving of a re-post. Turn it up loud and put it on repeat. Trust me on this one. Have I ever steered you wrong before? (don’t answer that.) Enjoy ….

    It’s amazing how much of an extra boost this song can give you … whether it’s working out, walking in to a club, getting ready for a presentation, or preparing yourself for a night under the tents at Charleston Fashion Week.

    Low and behold (I’m not even really sure what that means, but I feel like it fits on this one.) I’ve played it in all of those instances and many more. We’ve all got our bag of tricks, this song just happens to be one of mine.  Enjoy…..

    Rihanna – Only Girl (In the World)

    *I’m heading to CFW tonight as a +1 for Andrew. And if you know me, you know this is definitely stepping out of my comfort zone. Fish out of water? That might be a bit of an understatement. Bag of tricks up my sleeve? Always and forever ;)

    See you at the tents, loves.
