Hi, everyone. Welcome to this week’s edition of Music Monday.

The final Monday of the year is upon us and we are a few days away from a brand new year. I just want to take this time to thank all of you for being here while I indulge my love for music each week. And I hope the next 52 Mondays bring you everything you want and need.

The end of a year usually brings nostalgia & reflection, both good and bad. And no matter how you choose to spend the last night of the year-to celebrate the new one upon us or as just another night-here are two different sentiments to help you say goodbye to 2025 and hello to 2026. Whatever you are feeling, I hope you have a safe, happy and peaceful start to the new year.

We are on the verge of a new year, one that sounds like it is from a sci-fi series. Yesterday we were celebrating the new millennial and in a few days we will officially be 25 years in. I know time flies, but this last quarter century went by tragically fast. I believe those two words together form the most accurate and the most heartbreaking definition of life out there.

Still, a new year is a chance for new starts, new beginnings and new chances. And more music which remains the constant in my life. So thank you all for being here and sharing my love of it every week. I truly appreciate it. I wish you all the best in the new year. May it bring you everything you want and need. And right now, who does not need a little Lady Ella to get us all in a festive mood?
