The Lazy Postman Soundtrack
​on Spotify

Readers love The Lazy Postman, especially the oft-repeating references to music that are sprinkled throughout the text. Characters listen to songs, sing songs, hum songs, dance to songs... you get the idea. The author has used songs as background noise, as calming influences, and at times, for comic effect. As befits a story involving a wildly disparate mish-mash of people, a great medley of musical styles are used in the work. Opera, blues, rock, pop, and musical theatre showtunes all mingle on the page and hopefully in the reader's brain as they hum along for the rest of the day. If you have Spotify, please enjoy this diverse, and often silly, playlist, created to accompany the book as an audio soundtrack to the imaginative experience of The Lazy Postman.
