If you know me, you know that every year around this time, I put together a compilation of the tunes that defined the year for me.  I call it Wishlist.  For the remaining days of december I will be counting them down.

Wish #1: Michael Kiwanuka ‘I’m Getting Ready’

I instantly fell in love with this new blend of soul, melody, and beautiful guitar songmanship when i heard it; it triggered memories of listening to “into the mystic” in my bedroom in the 5th grade.
