Song of the Day: Duke Ellington “Solitude”
Our song of the day captures in sound a place where many find themselves not only in the physical realm, but also a place that we often check into mentally. Not always sad, but always a party of one, it can be helpful and at times hurtful but rest assured that this composition can be an empowering soundtrack.
