Day 20: A Jazzy and Bluesy Mother's Day

  
 Destination:  World Music Day!
  
Map WorldMusicDay
Fun Facts:  It's another relaxing Sunday. If you are celebrating Mother's Day today, you might be with a smaller family/friend group than some years. You're likely eating at home this year rather than a meal in a restaurant if that is your tradition. Here's some music to add to the celebration.      
  And, by the way, if you aren't celebrating Mother's Day, it's also National Clean Your Room Day. There you go. Music might help with that too.  

"Women of Jazz" - Jazz meets acoustic pop on this collection. It  showcases the originality and artistry of 10 exceptional female vocalists from North America.

PWM Women of Jazz

   Women of Jazz offers extraordinary artists from several eras - legends who have inspired today's generation, stars of the contemporary jazz world and young women starting to make their mark on jazz history.

   The songs  capture the depth and diversity of the female jazz experience, and include original songs alongside classic 1920s ballads and Broadway show tunes. A true reflection of the creativity of today's female jazz artists, their songs often combine jazz with unexpected influences such as rhythm and blues and country ballads.

   Relax and listen to "I'll Be Satisfied" by Hope Waits. She wraps her deep voice around the song with jazz and bluesy swing and a healthy dose of New Orleans funk.

Putumayo Presents: Women of Jazz

"American Blues" - Speaking of blues, our second featured CD today is solidly blues - American Blues. It's  a collection of some favorite blues tracks by legends and rising stars that are helping to keep the blues alive and thriving.

PWM AmericanBlues
Celebrate the soul and spirit of contemporary blues.

   The artists on this compilation have remained true to the roots of the blues, be those the acoustic guitar sounds of the Mississippi Delta, the urban electric drive of Chicago, or the swamp boogie of Louisiana.  While they may have developed their own unique voices and approaches, they have made it their mission to respect the fundamental sound, structure and soul of the blues.

   Enjoy your relaxing Sunday.  We again have long travel plans for tomorrow, so rest up!  We're headed south!

  Happy Mother's Day!

   In the News:  Yours truly was interviewed by Forbes.com.  Several weeks ago, staff writer Lauren Debter reached out and requested a phone interview about our "pivot" from our physical store to our Shopify store. She had somehow found
Jan BucketsOfBKSLove
me randomly online as someone all of a sudden using Shopify. We talked for an hour with no promise of when an article might actually get posted.  Well Friday was the day and while my "story" is actually the introduction to a broader look at the growth of Shopify, it was fun to be chosen to talk about World's Window. We think we're pretty special, and we like to talk about it.  
Check out the entire article  here.  

   We are continuing to plan how World's Window will re-open in Brookside and welcome you in. More staff will be joining us on Tuesday as we orient to "life as it is now." We plan to open Friday, May 15th with limited hours. We will posting more details in the coming days as to how we will re-open World's Window in a welcoming and safe manner for all.
  
   We THANK YOU for your continued online shopping support.  YOU are an important part of what makes World's Window so special!
