“Support Local” takes many forms. With the lack of live music, why not support a local musician or band by buying their songs (especially a timely one like this one which also has a great video!) “Pity Party – Blake Berglund

Freedom To Read Week 2021 – Day Two – Music Monday – “Mama said, she’s my brothers daughter/And I don’t even know who’s my father/I guess she’s my cousin/But she needs some sweet lovin’ anyway” – #ftrw
