My daughter hated the cover and always put it back, so it got lost in the shuffle Spinning it now I realized I’ve never gotten around to ever listening to it at all So first record of the month for me is one I never heard before.
 
Day 01: Sweater Weather
The days are getting shorter the leaves are changing colors, spin something that reminds you of Autumn

I've had an IPA or 10 and I spy some low hanging fruit so my AARP ass will take the path of least resistance.

By the way, the path of least resistance doesn't mean it's not the best, most logical path possible...
