It’s #earthday and I’m suggesting a listen to Matt Johnson’s “Earth’s Mysteries” track. @mattjohnsonkeys is the keyboardist for @jamiroquaihq. And this is an atmospheric,gentle, nice jazzy tune with a splash of vocal, saxophone and harp. Worth your time to listen to this Earth Day. https://youtu.be/Em_JkpICsbs?si=E5O6hEvh8tizWkRa

This morning’s “wake up smiling” track: Royal Crown Revue “Morning Light”! https://youtu.be/UbePeQogDLQ?si=6x4BtHIadYdFhytl

Taken together, these developments have led us to a clear decision: we can no longer support Spotify as part of our editorial ecosystem.”
