My COVID 19 Playlist

Call it dystopic. Call it apocalyptic. Call it fear mongering. Call it flattening the curve. Call it the end of the world. Call it whatever you may. The undeniable fact is that the Corona virus pandemic has caught most of the world off guard, and many more with their pants down. None of us has gone unscathed. Likewise, no one really knows what, or if, returning to normal is likely, let alone even a possibility.
Be that as it may, whatever the scenario,or your personal beliefs, you have to have an appropriate playlist to make it through these difficult times. Music can soothe our soul, lift you up, be a fount of wisdom, empathize with your distress, and be a close friend while practicing social distancing. These are just a handful of the songs that I’ve been listening to. By no means is this exhaustive. Feel free to add your own, mix and match, and share other recommendations with us!
And as always,…
