As the entire world basically remains locked down, we all find ways to promote joy and beauty in our rather strange world right now.

Holly plays Bach/Busoni “Je t’invoque, Seigneur” (I Call on Thee, Lord)
I have been playing every evening to fill the empty street below us with #songsofcomfort. I was reluctant to let Jim post any of the recordings he was making because my piano has gotten terribly out of tune, but in the end, I realized that the sound of an out-of-tune piano is, itself, representative of the times we are living in right now. I do hope that this piece brings you some comfort.
