A Playlist For Trying Times

It's a pretty stressful time, and I (Kirk) had a feeling some of
you might be cooped up, staring at your phones and anxiously
checking the news. I'm right there with you.


I've found a lot of comfort in music over the last few days, and
occasionally, some much-needed distraction. I wanted to try to
share that with all of you, so I made a new playlist featuring
songs from artists I've talked about on Strong Songs.


You can find it here:

(Thanks Thomas!)

themselves:

Dolly Parton - The Light of a Clear Blue Morning 20. Led Zeppelin
- The Battle of Evermore 21. The Cardigans - Great Divide 22.
Rush - La Villa Strangiato 23. Nina Simone - Feelin’ Good


If you have some free time, consider sitting down with the
playlist, turning up the volume, and seeing what you hear.
Where's the thump? Where are the pop and sizzle? What are the
vocals doing? How about the bass? Are there any unexpected
instruments in the mix?


Barring unforeseen events, I'll be back this coming Wednesday
with a new episode. Stay safe, and take care of each other out
there.
