Episode 428: The Beauty of the Earth

Music, like April 22nd's Earth Day, transcends all national borders, spans all time zones, and brings together all of humanity in harmony for the preservation of our little "Blue Marble". And while universal consensus on the care and maintenance of our island home is the political struggle of our time, it is without doubt that since everyone is a passenger on Spaceship Earth, everyone is affected.

​Let's explore the musical beauty of our Pale Blue Dot.
