“Send” & “Receive” Songs

This one started off simply enough. I really like the newest Adele song and wanted to figure out a feasible way to include it in a post. This seemed like a logical choice, but I had no idea if I'd find enough "Receive" songs to balance out all the good "Send" ones I knew I'd find. Turns out it was possible! I hope you will (I think you will)...enjoy!  ~  JH
