If 2016 became a year many would like to forget or maybe do over, then the next four years may merit the same disaffection. Music offers one clear and certain remedy. It sure helped after November 8. Here's a much too brief taste of three inspiring, gifted bands that nurture and hold my attention, devotion, and affection. Parsonsfield, Tall Heights, and Darlingside create for me a happy place -- especially live, but also when I'm just spinning vinyl. We rounded out the year on a high note. 2017 beckons. Thanks, boys. You rock!
