It's Friday, so I'll end "Joy Week" with a reader's request, a reup of the mix that closed out Joy Week, 2016. Here are 15 songs that never
fail to make me feel good.
Much of it is very obvious, but that's okay. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Plus, not one of these songs ever gets old for me.
Enjoy the tunes, the weekend, be smart, stay safe.

Wonderful mix, Sal - great way to start the weekend.
Randy
any playlist with "Stupidly Happy" is worth it.
Yeah!! I'm a long-nuff-time BW fan to still have that mix from 2016 and dig it. All who hain't heardt it yet, get ON it!
By the way, "I Saw The Light" is my favorite song ever. Others have tried to usurp it, but can't. Other than, actually, Beethoven's "Ode To Joy."
Great mix after a great -- and joyful -- week. Anyone else having trouble d/l'ing? i keep getting an error message that the source file can't be read. thanks
ANON,
Just checked the file. No issues on my end.
Paul McCartney's gift to the Everly Brothers of "Wings of a Nightingale" is a lovely way to pay a musical debt. It never gets old for me, either. Joy!
Thanks for the re-up. Just catching up with your "Joy Week" now and it's been - er - a joy. Even added on Mr J Jackson's "Ode To Joy" and, just for the hell of it, the 4th bit of Ludwig Van's Ninth even if he did nick a bit of it from old Freddy Schiller's original ode. Cheers!
Well, I've got something from everyone but one artist here, and eight of these songs, including the very first single I ever bought (Hot Fun In The Summertime), so I'm diggin' it. While I don't share the appreciation this blog has for fellow Swedish-American Todd Rundgren, I Saw The Light is about as perfect an AM radio confection as can be imagined.
