Last week I was treated to a fabulous cover of Beyonce’s “Halo” from OneRepublic (Ryan Tedder co-wrote the hit). This song reminds me of two things; 1- trying (and failing) to get out of the Dodger’s Stadium parking lot after my first baseball game in Los Angeles and 2- a beloved band, Harper Blynn whose cover of this song makes frequent appearances on my playlists to this day.
