Like most everyone else, I have been occupying my time during this forced stationary survival segment, doing various things that I’ve done before, but wishing I could do more.
With WHFR only playing Classical music and with my show on hiatus, I don’t have too many options to present music in a way that I feel might have an impact.
I am continuing my weekly Faves lists for songs and albums, so that won’t be changing.
I ran across a musician posting about how he was examining the new meaning his song lyrics seemed to be telling him, as he was singing them under these new life circumstances. (If I could remember who it was, I would tell you.)
I found that interesting because I was having similar feelings with music that I was listening to.
Eventually, I got an idea: I could do a “song of the day!”
I want to emphasize mostly, relatively newer music. Just like on my Monday night show, “Prime Time Theme Attic.” (Monday nights 8PM-10PM ET when it returns. Here’s the link for when that day comes: http://rdo.fm/r/4qntu )
Therefore, I am happy to announce:
“The Most Awesomest Song of the Day!”
I don’t intend to say too much about the selections. Just a few short, sweet sentences.
I’m not even sure if I’ll do it everyday…but I might. I mean, I had an idea for an album review last week and I still haven’t gotten around to it.
But I can promise this: I will not force my selections. If something doesn’t hit me, I won’t post one.
Everything I do has always been about shining a spotlight on the artist and their music.
Now I will have the potential to shine 365 spotlights if I want to!

Today, “The Most Awesomest Song of the Day” is the exact reason I started this category!
It’s brand new and I just received it yesterday!
Normally, I would sit on this song until I had a theme that fit it.
But this song is as current as anything out there!
And it sends a “Thank you!” in music to all the essential workers, from the gas station attendant who cleans the restrooms, all the way to the most skilled paramedics, nurses, and doctors!
Eric Gnezda‘s best songs explode in your heart as you listen to them!
“True Heroes” is one of them!
It also features the amazing talents of Arkadiy Gips on violin, and Dave Powers on piano!
I hope you explore my daily picks with me, and that I can take your mind away–at least for a few minutes, from what’s happening in the world today!
