Wrapping Up 2021: The Top 20 and Thanks to Snoopy

After I posted my “best of” lists for 2021, I intended to make a “making of” post like I did in 2021.  Holiday festivities and travel, however, kept me away from a formal recording session during that “sweet spot” week when I was really excited about the results.  I am now, unfortunately, way more focused on the new music of 2022 than I am about retreading 2021. 

But now that the results are public, I wanted to make the finalized listing easier to access (with links to relevant posts) for reference sake.  So for posterity, 2021’s Top 20 looked like this:
