"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

“Find” & “Lose” Songs, Vol. 1

Okay, so I had the brilliant idea to post some "Find" and "Lose" songs, but I found way more "Find" songs than I could reasonably use. So this will be a 2-parter. But wait! Even after 2 parts, there were more "Find" songs left over. So I had to do a "Find" and "Replace" post. But wait...still more "Find" songs! So I had to do a "Seek" and "Find" post. So settle in, 'cuz – as you will "Find" – this is only the beginning. Enjoy!  ~  JH
