"Not" Songs

These are "Not" Songs. Not to say that they're not songs, because they are. They're songs with the word "Not" in their titles, specifically as the first word in the title. Why do I keep posting random stuff like this, day after day, year after year? Let's "Not" overanalyze this. Just listen...and enjoy! ~ JH

Songs About The Wind, Vol. 1

Of all the themes I've featured in my 6+ years as a music blogger, I've never done this one. Which is surprising, considering I live in an incredibly hurricane-prone part of the country and strong winds are annually on my mind (as they are currently, for obvious reasons). So when I finally got around to it, I realized there were tons of good songs that qualified. So this will be part 1 of (at least) 2. Assuming you (and I) don't blow away in this storm, I'm sure you will...enjoy!  ~  JH
