Even though joining others at public concerts is still sometime in the future, many of us music aficionados are desperate enough to join live on line performances.
Some are free but many also have cover charges but musicians can use our $s too. Just be sure to note which time zone is stated. Whew, almost missed the last eastern standard time concert.
Music can still transform you as if you were there in person. We recently joined in the encouraged sing a longs with 2 very well known seasoned folk musicians Claudia Schmidt and Sally Rogers this past Friday.
Claudia and Sally put on a mighty fine show with their harmonious craft of some old and also new political lyrics with messages of life- yes, even life in the time of a pandemic.
One old tune was Still on the Bridge referring to the Birmingham Edmund Pettus Bridge march which continues to hold meaning with the realization "we need to finish the walk together." Sally wrote a song about Stacey Abrams. There was the wood song which those of us who heat with wood get but even more universal was the pandemic inspired lyrics of Bidet-o due to the lack of toilet paper...
Farewell My Friends was a perfect ending to for a lovely hour of music by two musical greats. " Be well, From our hearts to yours."
Treat yourself to a listen:
Thanks to YOUTUBE and Oldsongs...
Just discovered that the oldsongs posted the entire concert... Lucky us. ENJOY: CLAUDIA & SALLY
