Episode 154: Everyday Heroes & Essential Workers (Labor Day)

There are some expressions that have worked their way into our daily conversations. Words like social-distancing, contact tracing, curbside pickup, Zoom meetings, no contact service. On and on it goes. Our world will never be the same. We have also learned a new appreciation for those we call “essential workers.” They are the front line workers who don’t get Holidays like the rest of us. They work while we sleep. They are fellow human beings that we often take for granted. They are mostly invisible, until we need them. They deserve our respect and profound thanks. This music is about them, and for them. “Thank you” to all the everyday heroes, the ESSENTIALS. Our angels.
