I’m enjoying a slow morning so far. I’ve caught up on a bit of news, finished half a cup of coffee, and communed with a couple cats that are side-eyeing me like I should keep food in my pajama pockets. The birds are announcing the coming sunrise and the muted breeze carries hints of traffic on the main road four streets over. I know work awaits, but I’d much rather be on the dock of a bay.
Cheers all and let’s have a good day.

Given the state of the world these days, I’m going to take Tuesdays for music from a wonderful organization: Playing for Change. If you aren’t familiar with the group, I would highly recommend you tour their site and see what they’re all about.
“We inspire and connect the world through music.”
Our primary focus is to record, and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power through a variety of videos.
Chances are, one of those videos brought you here today, along with millions of others music-lovers from every continent.
To date, we have produced nearly 400 videos, recorded over 1,400 musicians in 60+ countries, and touched the hearts of over 2 billion viewers through our music videos, performances, and school programs.

Be well, be kind, and appreciate the love you have in your life.
