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 still facing a serious situation but a new year gives us hope for the new days, seasons, opportunities & moments ahead. Still, music is something that will never change for me. It is my refuge, the most comforting part of my life & the one thing I consistently count on. So until a more normal semblance of life 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 May 1975 Elton John released “Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy”. More importantly, on May 6, 1939, my dad was born in NYC. His favorite song by John was on that album. Today’s track is dedicated to my dad with all my love on what would have been his 82nd birthday.

“I’m strangled by your
Haunted social scene
Just a pawn outplayed
By a dominating queen“.

Elton John: “Someone Saved My Life Tonight” (1975, written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin).

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

Stay well.
