Coronavirus Oldies for Oldies

“Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.” ― Confucius

It’s Easter time once again and we’re all having to keep a safe distance from each other.  For Christians who are usually immersed in the religious celebrations that mark Easter, this is a difficult time.  For those of the secular population who just celebrate Easter as another holiday, it’s also hard to be away from family and friends.  We have to keep ourselves and others safe though and maybe we can share this Easter in other ways with our loved ones and friends.

I thought that I would share some YouTube music with you.  There’s a small section with some Easter music which you might enjoy over this Easter weekend if you’re so inclined.   Since I’m older now, I’m not up-to-date with music geared to younger people.  Most of the selections here are for older folk.  My sincere apologies to the younger generation.

This idea only came to me today and I’m hoping to add more selections as the days go by.  But, for now, hope you enjoy.  Happy Easter to one and all!
