Re: appreciation of bumper music

A smooth transition: "Bumper music", as it's titled, enlists an infinite number and variety of titles, from a legion of writers, artists, and renditions, depending on the target audience, whose tastes are frequently arrived at via what's called in the industry "focus groups", to buffer transitions between segments and signaling a "commercial" break (especially if you are listening to what's still referred to as commercial radio stations, where the adjective sometimes takes over the talk host) If you are a long time, regular listener here, or even semi-focused, you have become accustomed to my musical references and preferences, which I hope you have by now ascertained as being quite wide-ranging as in "eclectic", as well as well-timed and always in good taste, according to at least some of my re-viewers. At this point in time, given what we are transitioning from and to, I am enlisting the services and writing of one of the four Beatles, as in the words that "came to him" late at night, to comfort him...words that conger up the image of one I recently wrote about, as well as what I will write to you about tomorrow (partially written, should be ready to "print" by the morn) and then early in 2023 -- that is, respectively, Mary the mother, recollecting (and "re-collecting"), and what is to "being" (as in all about yours):

When I find myself in times of trouble

Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom

Let it Be

Reverence, resonance: These words, the ones I chose, the very first verse, which is about the amount of space and time radio producers allow, for bumpers, speak volumes to me, given when I first heard them, and the number of times I have relied upon the message since. Hope you will return here for some more -- messages, bumper music...๐ŸŽœ๐ŸŽ
