My penance for sleeping in until after 5. It gets to be too close to 7 (or later) before I make it out for the walk.

Re: music. It’s not really something to listen to while walking, but check out Elizabeth Zharoff’s (The Charismatic Voice) reactions to Talking Heads and Cranberries on YouTube. She’s reacted to “Once in a Lifetime” and “Life During Wartime” by the former, and “Zombie” and “Ode To My Family” by the latter. You can use the search function at her channel to see if she’s reacted to others of your favorite artists.
YouTube reaction videos in general are entertaining to watch – – it’s like watching old favorites with new friends, and experiencing them anew as someone else discovers them. Pretty much every reaction person on YouTube has seen the Star Wars movies now, and the Indiana Jones movies, and the Lord of the Rings films. The Firefly TV series is particularly popular, and a few have even done the Game of Thrones TV series. What’s really wonderful is when the reactors search out older films such as The Wizard of Oz – – many of these young people have never seen it before. I’ll particularly recommend watching Dawn Marie (a Scottish girl) reacting to the Marx Brothers and to Young Frankenstein. Other reactors I’ll recommend include Natalie Gold (her reaction to the tarantulas in Raiders of the Lost Ark is priceless) and Popcorn In Bed (search “PiB Silent Movie Memories” on her channel to get a wonderful fan-made “silent movie” that is an outstanding introduction to her channel). That should be enough to get you started.
