Top Music Picks of 2022
Wow, when putting this list together I realized how many songs I was a fan of this year and how few albums I listened to in full. The ones I listened to in full (listed below) I listened to endlessly.
Musical highlight of the year of course was Newport Folk Festival, seeing Joni Mitchell.
