The world is in a particularly crazy state right now, and damn if I know how to fix it. (Honestly, I have some ideas, but that’s a conversation for another day.) I do know that everybody needs some down time away from the endless news cycle of gloom and doom…and music can be your light in the darkness. Here’s three hours of it that I played on Muddy Waters and Maya Angelou’s birthday, which curiously fell on the same day as National School Librarian’s Day ad International Carrot Day. Make of that what you will. Dig it by clicking here.
