This song is called "Gild the Lily" and at this time in my life, it touches me deeply. I think you'll like it.

I've probably played this 100 times over the past few days. Something about it brings me pure joy. I hope a few of you listen to it.

I sing, hoot, chatter, and caw with the locals all the time.

Nice music. Thanks!

Therefore, to be possess'd with double pomp,
To guard a title that was rich before,
To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,
To throw a perfume on the violet,
To smooth the ice, or add another hue
Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light
To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish,
Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.

There's a college radio station that I sometimes listen to when I want to hear music instead of the DJ talking.

I would have to look at my radio settings to see what the actual radio station is.
