On the first day of May 2020, we kicked off a 30-Day Song Challenge (plus one, for the extra day in the month), to help us keep track of the days while we stayed home, and it looked as if we would need the help to keep one day from blurring into the next. Now, as the month has ended, the days proved memorable in ways we hadn't imagined at the start. For those who joined us along the way and offered your own selections, thank you. Hope you enjoyed. Here are all 31 songs in one playlist.
