Day 13 – A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough ass days (write a letter).

Dear Erykah Badu,

Your album Baduizm helped me keep as calm as possible during a time when my life was out of my control. I was fighting for my life against a massive infection and was in and out of the hospital every few hours for a couple of weeks. It was very stressful but the mellow groove of your music helped keep me from freaking out too much. Thank you.

Dear Lawrence Gowan,

I've been a fan of yours since you first release Strange Animal over 20 years ago. It's your album … but you can call me Larry that has helped me through some very difficult times more than once in my life. It will continue to be important to me until I, too, am Dancing on My Own Ground again. I thank you for that.

Dear Stevie Wonder,

What can I say? Your upbeat and positive music never fails to lift my spirits. I've listened to it pretty much all of my life. Thank you.
