Dear Friends,
On this fraught and powerful day, when as a nation we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his legacy and witness the beginning of the 47th Presidency, we want to share our annual, ritual offering of music, The Kitchen Sisters Soundtrack. Music from our stories, music of people who passed in the year just ended, music we want you to know about.
Here’s the playlist. Perhaps today is just the day to hear some new and old music, think about these people and face the future with rhythm and hope.
Keep it moving,
Davia & Nikki
