Introducing Double J's weekly music quiz, Tim Rogers salutes health care workers and kids albums that won't drive you crazy
Pretty weird Easter, right?
For the past two decades, I've spent this weekend in Northern New South Wales for Bluesfest. Its cancellation has left a strange kind of chasm inside of me.
Your traditions are probably taking a break this year as well.
If I was one of those sprightly wellness-types I'd suggest you start a new tradition. Or offer some sage advice to help plug the hole in your life your ditched plans have left. That's not my style.
I have no idea how to help you feel comfortable on a weekend where our very necessary isolation might cut a little deeper than usual. But I can tell you what I'll be doing.
I'll be listening to John Prine's first album. I'll be making stock. I'll be trying to breathe as deeply as I can (I haven't taken a decent breath in weeks), and I'll be expressing as much gratitude as I can that I'm able to do any of these things at all.
There are more exciting Easters in our future. This one's about gratitude, about stillness, and about survival. |
