Quarantunes Volume #1

Music has always been an important part of my life. Readers of this blog know that I have shared several playlists, over the last few years, for a variety of reasons. So, it should come as no surprise to learn that I have made another playlist to capture the essence of this global pandemic...

Over the last few weeks, I've been using a variety of sources to add songs to a growing list. I've asked Facebook friends to offer suggestions, I've done some googling and a lot of soul searching!  As a result, I ended up with a list of around 60 songs. Now, having a list of songs is quite different than having a playlist!  My history as a DJ has always taught me to use music to create an atmosphere in a room, with a flow from high energy songs to moody songs, from rock songs to dance to jazz or blues... and this is what I have done here!

I could explain some of the wherefores and whys regarding the nature of some of these choices, but that would take too long... and I'd rather just let the music speak for itself! So, with no further words, it's time to turn up the volume and get rockin'.......
