So stay diligent my fellow voyagers in being healthy, continue your social distancing, and take your time getting back to the new normal. Listen to great music and share that music to give another soul a little insight into the choices of a voyager during this sabbatical from what we once knew. The jet setting investigations of jazz around the globe will continue again.
