Happy Easter

Easter is not like Christmas. There are some albums and songs, but not nearly as many as as others. And this holiday also usually is associated with very religious and also very non-religious images. For some it is Jesus on the cross, for others it is Easter dinner and egg hunts or lots of chocolates or flowers. And for some it is Rabbits and for others it is Rising from the dead. This pick is a mish mash of all of that. I have songs about rising and songs about rabbits. I don't have any about dinner, but I do about redemption. So it's a mixed bag. I hope you enjoy the compilation no matter what your feeling is of this holiday. Enjoy your family whether you believe or not. At one time it meant I was going to read some selections from the good book, now it is about my family.
