AJR, a pop-rock or alternative genre band released an EP featuring some singles that will undoubtedly appear on a full album soon. Way Less Sad as an installment is a great collection for any AJR fans. The tracks include “Bang!” and the title track “Way Less Sad.” I have always liked AJR because of their happy tunes mixed with serious lyrics. The contradictions between sound and lyrics make the songs more interesting.
For those who have never listened to AJR before, they are a great band to start listening to as the weather warms up, people prepare for a summer vacation, or a spring full of baseball and brunches. While there isn’t much experimentation in their sound, it is all fun and a great way to get excited for summertime.

Comment text: Marie will be forever treasured in memories.
The memories remain of a soft-spoken, seemingly unassuming but determined individual who absolutely knew what path she wanted to take in life, and followed it.
Her instinctive reactions, which highlighted her steadfast level of love and caring for her family, friends and all living things found in nature, hold lessons for us all.
An unexpected splash of her self-deprecating humor, coupled with uncanny timing, will always bring a smile.
For me, Marie lives on in the sighting of a Black-crowned night heron in the tules, the bloom of a beautiful spring flower and, most poetically, in the struggle of wildlife photographers handling their very large camera lenses.

Comment text: I just figured out that Betty was my 1st cousin. Her dad Ted was my dad's brother. I never knew Ted or Betty, but I wish I did. I am 73 and live in IL. I am building my family tree and see where Betty has fit in. Blessings to you Curt and family.
