Any time I need a little more energy, I don't drink something with caffeine in it. I play this song.
Works every time! How can you not move when you are listening to something this fantastic?

Edited to add this picture of my very own Andrew sister. This was my mom, and she served in World War II.

Lol.

I swear, if the Greatest Generation were the ones living through this pandemic, everybody would be wearing a mask right now. They were tough, and they could get through anything.
