Play "Misty" for me.
That's where it all started. On Tuesday, March 24, 2020,
"Misty" was the first song I posted on Facebook. It was a direct
result of COVID shutting down my volunteer piano playing at
First Health Moore Regional and three area nursing homes.
In my version of "turning lemons into lemonade", I have now
posted 846 daily song posts. Counting numerous medleys of
religious favorites, show tunes, pop, rock, folk and more, there
have been well over 1,000 songs.

Although I have just recorded an additional 29 songs and have
even more in mind, now is a good time for me to take a break.
Sharing these songs with friends old and new has been a thrill
of a ride for me, and that's why I'm going to continue to re-post
favorites and add an occasional new song from time to time.
But I won't try to keep up the pace of the daily post, with my
recording time and time for song history research limited.
I think I've covered just about every genre of music I've
ever been exposed to, and my listeners have been very
patient and tolerant as I've struggled through some songs
that didn't "come naturally" to me. It was fun trying!
I continue to prefer Facebook over Youtube, because
it gives me the chance to interact with my listeners on a
more personal level. So don't go away-- I'm certainly not!
Here is a list of my titles from #701 through #846. I have
previously blogged seven lists of 100 songs each as I passed
those milestones. You can search for those lists on this blog,
then search individual songs on my Facebook page. It helps
if you search "Ken Loyd" plus song # and song Title.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the abundant
encouragement and support you have all offered. It has
been the fuel in my tank.
