Free Song of the Month from Charity & the Jam Band
Friday January 16, 2009
Free music is
always a good thing: at the very least, it gives you the chance to explore a genre or artist you might not have listened to before, and at most you might just discover a diamond in the sky. San Francisco's Charity Kahn inaugurated her "
Song of the Month" series in December with her own personal take on "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." January's freebie is a sweet ballad called "
The Bird," a "dreamy reflection on the cyclical nature of day and night, dark and light, sunrise and sunset." Cool.
