   My favorite piece of music since I heard it for the first time when I was in third grade.

   Thank you, thank you, thank you to all those healthcare workers and other responders to the Pandemic!

   And thank you, thank you to these artists for this and for the lifetimes of devotion to their art that make such beauty possible. What a lovely, brave performance of this piece! They really made it swing!

   So hard to do this online. Musicians need to listen and respond to one another in real time. So, I’m always impressed when people pull something like this off so well. The individual performances are so alive, nuanced, and this carries it.

   One of the wonderful things of this lockdown has been musicians sharing wonderful experiences. Roger Waters’s version of “Mother” with Lucious on backing vocals and Jonathan Wilson on lead is beautiful:

   It would be nice to see a concert to honor the 1 million New Yorkers (which includes many hospital workers) who have lost their jobs in the last couple months.

     There’s a world outside of New York too. Would be nice to see them acknowledged too. Especially the sick and dead.
