Like everyone else, ecp spends a little time on the year anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic, reluctantly. Back to work, sort of. Excited and optimistic but aware of the perpetual danger and doom. A little time on ecp's own walk with the virus in early February. Curious about when and how people move out of Zoom and into real life. And unbelievable singing by Patti LaBelle. That's what's happening, baby.  Music Heard Today Bob Hope and Shirley Ross – Thanks for the Memory (1938) The Young Philosophers Club – Hope No Use Cryin' – Selvins Orchestra aAirial – Lonely Landscape Patti LaBelle and the BlueBelles – You'll Never Walk Alone Ketsa – Sun Hope *** For contact or to be on CHORantine: [email protected] , or, visit our website www.chorantine.org
