“For the past few days, I’ve had “Papa Gene’s Blues” by the Monkees playing each day, both in my head and on iTunes. I brought my two boys to see An Evening with Michael Nesmith at the GRAMMY Museum a few months ago, and I’m very hopeful to take them to see The Mike & Micky Show this summer.”

- “Heroes”, Peter Gabriel – Submitted by: Joanne Peressini
“Thinking of all my nurse friends & family members right there in the trenches”
- “Silver Ashes”, Dilana – Submitted by: Kathleen Boyd
“I’m listening to this song because Dilana is my favorite artist and this song is about missing someone special. During this time of isolation, I just miss my mother so much. She is in her 80’s and not in great health. She is in early stages of dementia and I pray that she remembers me by the time this COVID-19 pandemic is over”.
- “Here’s Where the Story Ends”, The Sundays – Submitted by: Edward Petlak
“A deceptively comforting song, the lead vocals are honest about the world around her. Still sounds great after 30 years”.
- “On”, BTS – Submitted by: Abigail Umoh
“In the words of Namjoon “Music transcends languages.” Music is a universal language that we all can appreciate and feel the healing effects of it”.
- “Lady”, Kenny Rogers – Submitted by: Betty Baney
“Love the song and was played at my daughter’s awards given for girls Basketball team at San Gabriel High School”.
- “Deleter”, Grouplove – Submitted by: Matt Harding
“A new upbeat-sounding song with darker undertones- classic Grouplove! I’ve been listening nonstop since they released it”.
- “Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk”, Rufus Wainwright – Submitted by: Martin Casella
- “Black River”, Amos Lee – Submitted by: Conny Goodreau
“The spirit of this song is so beautiful, soul soothing especially this live version. Close your eyes and let his amazing voice speak right to you”.
