Hi everyone.  Hope you are all well and continue to stay that way during this global health crisis we are facing.  But in addition to protecting your physical wellness, what are you doing to stay mentally healthy today?

I know we are in a serious situation, but I need a break from the gloom, doom and bullying by way of hoarding. Music has always been my refuge and watching those beautiful Italians singing to each other from their balconies reaffirmed my belief that music is the answer. So until the old normal returns, I am going to share a song I listen to that helps me escape the current state of things, if only for a few minutes each day.  And if this helps anyone else, even better.

In honor of Sir Paul McCartney’s 78th birthday which was on June 18th, this is my favorite song of his from the Beatles.  I chose to share the “Naked” version because as much as I love the original with the orchestra, there is something so elegant about this one.  And I remember the scene in the “Let It Be” movie quite fondly of the Fab Four performing it this way.

The Beatles:  “The Long & Winding Road” (1970 original, 2003 reissue, written by John Lennon & Paul McCartney).

I do not own the rights to anything.  I am just sharing what I love and how I am coping with you.

Stay well.
