This month, the music industry experienced some great losses due to Covid-19. However, in the sadness we find comfort in music. We are so appreciative of the many musicians who are doing what they can to remind us that we are all in this together. Enjoy this little collection of some of my favorite musical internet moments over the last week, as well as some great music you can find online today and tomorrow!
Tim Booth of James
Tim Booth, of James, teamed up with his neighbor for a few acoustic versions of their songs that he performed in his home. Tim Booth recently lost his father-in-law to Covid-19 and shares a heartfelt version of James’ classic, “Sit Down”. Enjoy this wonderful performance.

Song 2: (4:25) Sit Down
Carsie Blanton
New Orleans singer/songwriter, Carsie Blanton wrote a beautiful tribute song to John Prine who passed away from Covid-19 this past week. She released this song as a single, but here is a lovely acoustic version of this song, “Fishin’ with You”. Check out her work and be sure to follow her on Facebook.
