3 songs to raise your spirits during a job transition...

Anna Bliss from Minneapolis picked today's My 3 Songs set because..."I am one of the throng currently in "job transition." These three - admittedly, kinda old school - songs have been played at very apropos times along the journey - "Let It Be" was on about the time I found out I was being laid off. "Three Little Birds" ("Don't worry 'bout a thing...'cuz every little thing's gonna be all right) was next in line, during the first weeks I was sans job. And "Waiting for the Great Leap Forward" ends the set - because that's where I am right now - waiting for the great leap into a new job (whenever that job and I find each other - which may require a leap into a new economy). Three songs not about jobs, but describing the internal journey of the job seeker (or at least me)."

The Beatles - "Let It Be"
Bob Marley and The Wailers - "Three Little Birds"
Billy Bragg - "Waiting For The Great Leap Forward"

Who is this Ike Whiting and why is he getting the online credit for my song set? Thanks for the set Barb! It was lovely. Now off to write more cover letters...
