ravengirl suggested that I listen to Cajun and Zydeco music to lift up my spirits, and I created a Pandora channel and was listening to it while I did chores. She's right; I can't listen to it without grinning. Here's a link to one song that I like. (YouTube won't let me embed it.)
Just One Kiss I've also ordered a Buckwheat Zydeco CD.
It also made me think of Paul Simon's
Graceland album because it has a Cajun-flavored song on it, but the whole album is uplifting, so I should listen to it too.
I should also check out bluegrass music.
