I have also begun making video playlists linked to these 42 audio playlists. I will post an example from each of three periods in music history. I hope fellow threaders will give them a view/listen and maybe even share.

Wondering if Trump voters feel he & his admin. are intensely focused on their welfare & well being of their families as he said he would be. Oh & I thought Ukraine would be settled before he was sworn in, is it possible they were played as pawns. Who could have anticipated this? 70 million citizens!

Am I misreading the actions being taken by POTUS and his Neo-Nazi Co-President because this sure feels like a second iteration of a coup’! Illegal actions, firing those who keep a check on their conduct (I.G’s.), FBI, Gov’t employees. Only room for loyalists and insurrectionists and the tech bro’s!

Imagine a church leader having the nerve to speak to those in attendance to show, compassion, mercy, understanding, empathy and support for those in our society who are marginalized, here seeking a better life or going through personal transitions. I know I’ve heard someone preach this before. Hum!

Which content creator/organization is going to generate a compelling collage of GOP officials speaking to the issue POTUS pardoning violent offenders guilty of assaulting police on 1/6? Make it a daily loop &get it into the right wing/MAGA echo chamber as well. Make it meaningful & powerful please.

An amazing sunset at Old Silver Beach Saturday. Mid November and the weather brought people out to walk the beach and enjoy the sunset. Thought I’d share.

I enjoy putting together music that speaks, moves & inspires so much so that I find myself freely swaying to its sound. I also put together video playlists that do the same. Thought I’d share an example, maybe others might enjoy the experience. Welcome feedback.
