Music is my first love and we lost a legend last week. This week’s podcast went through a lot of changes since I couldn’t make up my mind as to what I was going to put together. At first I wasn’t going to do a podcast with only Michael Jackson’s work, I was thinking something with a mix of other artists. We’ve been saturated with tributes to the late great King of Pop and I felt what I could offer would pale in comparison. But as you can see we have a full mix of MJ’s work. It just happened like that. Something came over me while I was putting this together and the tracklist below is the result. When he left us I lost of piece of myself. I don’t remember not having Michael Jackson in my life and now suddenly he’s gone. Let’s make sure he’s not forgotten and continue to celebrate the gifts he gave us through his music. Enjoy.

   I feel the same way as you. I don’t think there’s ever been a time in my life when Michael Jackson’s music was not there.
