On the politics side, election results show Democrats had some positive gains. NYC Mayoral Race, Proposition 50 in California, Dems still control the Senate in Minnesota, and more. On the school board elections in Minnesota, only one of 11 candidates who were endorsed by the conservative group Minnesota Parents Alliance was able to win on election day and he was an incumbent. That's good news. And I am grateful for some hope in how people voted.
And with hope, comes time to put on some music.
“Music has healing power. It has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours.” - Elton John
One of my favorities is the Four Seasons - Autumn by Vivaldi. MPR is doing a session on Friday, variations on the theme of gratitude at 3 p.m. on Friday. " MPR Theme for November:
Our theme this month is GRATITUDE: What are you grateful for, and what music reminds you of it? Or even, what music are you grateful for and why? Send us your stories and music of gratitude. MPR Webpage
I submitted the Four Seasons as my pick. You can submit your own recommendation for consideration here. Now I just have to remember to listen at 3 p.m. on Friday.
Have some music you want to share that you are grateful for? Please use the comments and let us know. In the meantime, may you have a joy-filled day today.
The music of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers always gives me energy, makes me smile 😊
