What is your current favorite song, not your all time favorite song, but the song you can’t get enough of _right now_? For me: It’s a tie between Prophecy and Save Me, both by Remy Zero. ---

_Appalachian Spring_, composed by Aaron Copland. I’m fortunate enough to have a 3-CD set, upon which the performances include Copland himself composing. I listen to it over and over these days. I’m hoping to have it playing at my wedding! ---
