Music Notes with Jess
Eclipse Playlist
Americans were in awe of the solar eclipse on 4/8/24. Seen from Mexico, midwest U.S., and upper northeast, one of the totality spots was near the Rock and Roll of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio! They created a thematic playlist, and so did many others! I talk about some of those popular streams, and add in my picks.
