Tomorrow is a special day.  I point out that if it were not this year, it would still be a special day as we celebrate Martin Luther King.

 

In thinking about tomorrow and the change(s) to then occur, as well the traditional Martin Luther King Day observances, I looked at my playlists and offer these for your consideration:

 

Songs to Inspire aka “Inspiration” (first posted October 29, 2017; updated 2020-05-25)

 

New State of Our Union playlist (first posted January 24, 2021; updated 2024-03-11)

 

State of DisUnion playlist (first posted February 5, 2019; updated & renamed 2021-02-13)

 

and

 

America's Big Day (Created on American Independence Day to share my musical view of this important day in American history; created & verified July 4, 2024)

 

I created the first version of the Inspiration list as part of a project during my first semester at Hofstra University; it was a “companion” cassette tape that accompanied a myth I authored as a project for a mythology course.  I never got the tape back but some years later I found a hand written list of the tunes; one day I was motivated to re-create it on then iTunes (now Apple Music). A YouTube playlist followed.

 

Last summer, I created America's Big Day  to celebrate Independence Day.

 

Two other playlists each offer their own messages.  The song titles  in each make that clear.

 

I close with a preference for optimism; not sure that fully applies to the day at hand but as they say “hope springs eternal.”

This Sunday (NY) Daily News op-ed by Leonard Greene - “Watch Trump inauguration or honor Dr. King? You can do both.” - is relatable to this blog do I share it: https://www.nydailynews.com/2025/01/19/leonard-greene-watch-trump-inauguration-or-honor-dr-king-you-can-do-both/

Way more respect for MLK than DJT, and shiver to think how little DJT respects MLK and Jimmy Carter and most other humans.

51-52 years back and I am not sure I even received the actual paper back. Maybe my recollection is amiss so I'll look but do not think it is among my retained college papers.
