After another emotional rollercoaster of a week, we wanted to pick a special mix for this MOTW. We reached out to find something that expressed our sadness and love, hopefulness and desolation. We are stewing in the glory of our fresh World Series Champion Astros, who have brought SO MANY of our fellow Houstonians the joy they needed. Our hearts are still aching for our friends in Puerto Rico, The US Virgin Islands, may other parts of the Caribbean, Florida, and our still fresh wounds home in Houston. We grieve for those in Las Vegas, and even more of those that get buried in our whirlwind month. Good riddance to September and October. We’re over this fall.
We ended up deciding on this beautiful mix from Andrew Bayer, which highlighted all the swirl of emotions we were feeling, but still wrapped us in a glorious sonic hug. We hope that each of you catch that same emotion of love and healing that we got from this stellar set of hits, and can celebrate with thousands all over today.
Enjoy.
