Dug through the archives this week to find songs that reflect our current times. The result is two hours of music about enjoying life while keeping a safe distance.
We hope you’re all doing well, staying healthy, and finding ways to keep busy. Here at STG home studios, we’re getting some gardening done, finding ways to exercise, and experimenting with new cooking adventures (yesterday, beignets!). And the music will continue to flow, because in these times we all need music.

Can a mostly closed radio station and self-isolation stop the music? Nope. We still bring you a great mix of mostly new global tunes. Because you need something to listen to while in your own little quarantine.

Yes, another New Year to celebrate. I’m told we’re starting the year of the White Metal Rat — so… music from China and Chinese artists, other new year tunes, and a few songs about rats. And one song about a mouse.
