Michela's Picks: "True Love" from Buddy Holly & The Celeste

Hey everyone, just a quick thought to spark interest and discussion.

I've been listening to Buddy Holly quite a bit lately. While I know "Everyday" has been covered by many including John Denver and James Taylor and has been featured in several commercials, I simply can't get over how absolutely adorable its melody and theme are in their simplicity and romance. 

Even more endearing is Holly's use of the "celeste", a rare glockenspiel-like instrument so cute in its innocent tone that you suddenly feel the urge to reach through the speakers and give Buddy a hug. 

So in the spirit of Valentine's Day -- even if you're feeling grumpy on the 14th -- take a listen, because "everyday", love's  "gettin' closer" :)
