The effort in our community and state to stay at home continues to be of the highest priority. We are entering a difficult period of weeks ahead whereby COVIC-19 will put enormous stress on our healthcare system and our daily lives. Through perseverance, faith, and grace we will endure through the crisis.
In the safety of our home, we have the opportunity to discover new ways to enjoy jazz. Live streaming is cropping up on social media and people are finding time to listen to jazz. Jazz music, along with other forms people enjoy, can help to alleviate the stress of isolation. Take the time to enjoy it.
