Suggested Listening June 5, 2020

Hi everyone, here is our bi-weekly recommended listening posting for Friday, June 5, 2020.

–

Just a reminder, starting next week, I will be publishing suggested listening postings on Tuesday and Friday evenings, instead of Friday and Monday evenings. So, there will be a posting today Friday, June 5, then one on Wednesday, June 10, followed by one on Friday, June 12. And after that, the schedule will be Wednesday and Friday evenings.

This week I’m offering a collection of music that focuses on life and the good things we can achieve if we work together and take care of each other.
