Spring in New England can be a mixed bag days of glorious sunshine followed immediately by gloomy winter weather creates a contemplative season. Regardless, it s the time of year when we start to re-emerge from winter as the world blooms around us. This month, we asked our Mass Mix contiburtors to share songs that make them feel connected to nature ahead of Earth Day. Here s what they said. The Ladybug Transistor, “Rushes Of Pure Spring” I first stumbled across this song on a Darla Records CD sampler back in the late 90s. Remember CDs? Remember the 90s? Since then, Rushes of Pure Spring has become a springtime listening tradition, going on 25 years now.
