Sunday Morning Concerts have returned!

Before I moved into my second apartment, I used to feel amazing when I woke up Sunday mornings. The sun so bright in my eye, I had to shift from one cozy position to another. If the sky was gray, spending time looking up at the patterns in the clouds. If it was raining just staring at wet leaves, wet city. I would jump up after a while so full of energy I just wanted to dance around and listen to great music. When I was still living with either of my parents it was opera morning and I played and sang along with opera favorites. Things later shifted to other music and then finding recorded live concerts on TV or the NPR program, All Music Considered. 

But, oh, the second apartment. There wasn't much access to sky, blue, gray or rainy. There was less inspiration to have those amazing Sundays, but they did happened every once in a while. Anyway, I've moved, and I've got windows that look out onto trees and skies. Sundays have been great again. I wake up too early, I open the blinds and then dig back under the covers. Every once in a while I open my eyes and see how the sun is progressing, then all of a sudden it is so bright through the trees and I'm just excited and I jump up and say "Let's play some music!" So far, and this is how this whole rhapsody relates to The Screen, my Sunday mornings at new home are live concert mornings. I've been able to stream the new season of Austin City Limits from my Fire Stick, turn the TV up loud, and jump, dance and carry on around new home. It's been great. 

It has only been a month, but these are my favorites so far:

I downloaded and requested every Tedesci-Trucks related album after listening to this song:

Anjelique Kidjo is amazing. I dare you to sit still and watch this:

I watched the whole Paul Simon episode this morning and it was pretty fantastic. He ended it with a moving solo version of Sound of Silence. 

Catch the full concerts on PBS Video ACL (this is a link!) while they're available. If not there are plenty of song clips. Press play. Enjoy.
