So as we face the pandemic virus here in the USA and the prospect of it mutliplying faster than a Heather Locklear shampoo reccomendation

I started to wonder about a quarantine play list tailored to the disease du jour/semaine/mois/annee or until Trump discovers a cure

Sick songs is where I'm going

Lets start with

there are probably several hundred tunes.

so have fun and wear a mask

Merry X-mas.
