Hello fellow home-stayers!
I will keep posting as many uplifting and/or humorous music videos here as I can find, for as long as I'm still working from home - which keeps getting extended.
Thanks for all the positive feedback, and for giving me the opportunity to find so much great music that I otherwise would never have heard!

ICYMI:  What happens in cities when the people aren't out and about.  And in case it doesn't follow automatically, here's part 2.  And of course there's a part 3, and probably many more.

Thanks for your input!  With an education on what has become a huge and important experiment and a little humor from your selections, I am armed to begin another day!

A random walk:  I looked up this old favorite which led me to this one which led me to this one.  He's a master of audience participation as well as of music itself!  And then of course I had to go find this one...
