A Case of the Blues

Maybe it's the doldrums of winter, but I'm feeling a little bit on the melancholy side the past few days.  When I fall into a funk like this, I usually listen to music that encourages the mood.  It's not "moody" or "depressing" music but it's music I like to play in the background as I sip a glass of wine and flip through the latest Vanity Fair.
