Is music the perfect escape?
Saturday coffee klatch
On Saturdays I usually invite you in on my conversation-over-coffee with my colleague Heather Lofthouse who runs Inequality Media Civic Action. It’s our Saturday coffee klatch. But I’m on vacation this week. So in lieu of our usual back-and-forth, we thought you might enjoy hearing the original tunes composed by several of you wonderful Substack followers as theme songs for our klatch. We have a veritable album. What a treat.
Feel free to “vote” for your favorite in the comments and/or chime in with your notable takes from the week.

And this is just a sampling. Thank you, everyone.
Just want to say you have very talented folks creating music for you-I enjoyed listening to them all. It tells me that they, like me, are energized by your truth telling and clarity regarding the events of these past years. Because of your clear and concise explanations, I understand some things far better, including Reagan’s democracy-crushing “trickle-down” policies. I couldn’t be more grateful to you. Thank you for all you do!
Absolutely love Nocturne in Blue.
