Hello, 

This Sunday, March 29 on The Mulberry Tree, it’s the last in my four-part series featuring songs about our 50 United States.  The last two tracks in the program are two different instrumental versions of “America the Beautiful.”  I hope you are able to dig deep during these troubled times of fighting coronavirus, and remember that the beauty of this country awaits us for when we emerge.  I hope you are able to tune in Sunday evening.  My heart is with each of you. Be safe, healthy and happy.

Hello,

This Sunday I continue my quest to feature songs about all 50 states continues with part three of four editions.  So far, I’ve covered Arkansas through Montana and tonight, it’s Nebraska through Pennsylvania.

A Special Note:  I produced and pre-recorded this four-part series back on February 6, before the world health crisis picked up greater speed.  As we listen to these songs about each of our states here in the US, send out good thoughts to each and every one of them as we fight the coronavirus…
