“Nice” & “Slow” Songs, Vol. 1

What happens when you do a "Naughty" & "Nice" post in December and have too many "Nice" songs left over in January? You do a "Nice" & "Slow" post (two of 'em, actually). The previous two "Slow" & "Steady" posts were a byproduct of having too many good "Slow" songs leftover from this collection. Go figure! Oh, yeah...enjoy!  ~  JH
