I've always loved writing, because I've always loved informing people and entertaining them.

I remember buying my first 45 record when I was five years old. It was "Come and Get Your Love" by Redbone, which is still a groove.

I love a good playlist and happened to see this position listed in one of my freelance writing newsletters.

6/ Tell us about the name of your Playlist - where did that come from?

Because the 70s had a carefree feeling, I thought dancing barefoot in the grass symbolized that unapologetic freedom.

Great lyrics and an easy-breezy tempo that would fit in the 70s.

Make the description interesting and if possible add an eye-catching photo.

Whew, that's hard. I'd have to say:

10/ And finally - which Music to Curator should we interview next?

Let's interview Phil Shaw next. His Music to Navigate a Life is inspiring. Will be interesting to hear about his music influences.
