Only Time by Enya. Thank you for all the messages of encouragement. I have decided to keep posting music here from my cottage regularly despite things seem more and more uncertain for the future of Twitter. In the words of Enya "Who can say where the road goes? Only Time"

In these days of anxiety, I wanted to find a way to continue to share some of the music that gives me comfort. The first of my #SongsOfComfort: Dvořák – "Going Home” Stay safe.
