Once in a blue tune

A single moment is all it takes. Life can hinge on something that happens once – a glance, a mistake, a kiss, a loss, a revelation and music is the place to go when we want to feel that moment again. The doorway you only walk through once. This week we play songs about the instant everything changes. The one moment, person or experience that made us, once upon a time.
