Music touches the soul AND can help when you are stressed, so....
Remember that plastic recorder your children played in school? It is actually a Renaissance instrument (think Henry VIII). March is "Play the Recorder" month and Saturday, 3/21, was "Play the Recorder" day.
Since people are not gathering in groups this month, the Philadelphia Recorder Society is suggesting everyone play the same song on Saturday. They have selected a Playford dance called Jamaica (or Jameko). If you ever watched the British TV Sit-Com about the life of Shakespeare called "Upstart Crow," then you've heard the tune, since it was used as the theme song.
Scroll down to find the sheet music, and play along with a recording of the piece:
