The last couple of years I have made a playlist for myself to signify my past year, in song.  It includes songs that remind me of things I did, or songs whose title seems to represent the year I just had.

Some of these are artists that many of you out there introduced to me (Chic Gamine and the 1/2 marathon come to mind), some of these songs are old favorites (my ever beloved Bruce Cockburn!),some of these are new favorites (City and Colour and Mumford and Sons for example) some are not favorites at all but simply a reminder of something or someone (There is a Land reminds me of my beloved sister in law Jenny who past away, as does the song by Jon Buller).  Many include verse and words that reflect my own feelings, thoughts and experience  of this year. Some, I just put on because of the title.  So, here it is for you to see – the julie zimmerman 2010 playlist…..(in no particular order)
