September has come and gone, but it left a beautiful trail of music behind. As the month says farewell to summer and hello to the fall TV lineup, I bring to you a look back at the tracks that I chose to fill up your mornings with music or at the very least plant an earworm deeply each day. I hope you found some of these numbers making you hum or dance in your seat as you went along your day.

SEPTEMBER 2016 — For this month, I wanted to offer a nice variety of #SongOfTheDay cuts because September is one of those unique months with a transitioning role in our lives. Many are getting settled into new school years, a return to projects after being in a summer frame of mind for a while or a jumpstart on the holiday season to come. So I wanted the music to reflect that. This month’s selections covered everything from the 1960s to the 2010s, from the Beach Boys and the Cowsills to Sly and the Family Stone and Blue Oyster Cult to Journey and Blondie (with the lovely and quite awesome Debbie Harry pictured above) to Pink and Of Monsters and Men. We were anywhere and everywhere in content, mood and genre.
My #ForgottenTunes selections for September ran the gamut, too! This month, I brought you back to the sounds of Neil Young, Pat Benatar, Olivia Newton-John, Chris DeBurgh and Sophie B. Hawkins. I hope the month was good to you and now as we head into fall, I have lots more gems to pull out of the vault, dust off and play for you as this new Thursday tradition continues. I do hope you have been enjoying the addition of it this year.
So sit back and relive September. And feel free to sing along anytime you like… xo ~ CK
