"Spare" Songs

No, these aren’t a bunch of songs left over from previous posts, nor are they songs that simply wouldn’t fit in with any theme so I put them altogether in one post (although I wouldn’t put it past myself to do either of those things). These are, quite literally, a bunch of “Spare” Songs in that the word “Spare” appears in the title of each. Not surprisingly – because good music abounds, if you know where to find it – there are some real gems here, by both well-known and lesser-known artists. Enjoy!  ~  JH
