Songs from Quarantine
Every year brings new challenges to face - some are good, some are not so great, and some are a true test of strength and resilience. 2020 brought the latter, with a global pandemic that none of us saw coming. Some families lost loved ones, faced financial hardship, and had to become teachers while working full time jobs. Everyone dealt with the stresses that came with the upheaval of everyday life as “two weeks to flatten the curve” quickly became one year of quarantine, and we are only now beginning to see glimmers of normal life ahead.
Music became an even more important piece of our everyday lives, providing some peace in an ever-changing, unpredictable world.
