I’ve had this in mind for a while now, and today – the first Earth Day in the time of he-who-shall-not-be-named (seriously, it’s a policy I just made up) – seemed like a good day to kick it off. Thoughtful Music for Troubled Times will be a semi-regular series of posts showcasing, well, pretty much just what it says on the tin. Some of my own, some from other artists. Share it along if it makes you think!
