The imaginative and empathetic composer Lisa Bielawa — certainly one of those who have their own sound world that you can recognize immediately — has a coronavirus project in which she's soliciting short testimonies from the public reflecting on coronavirus experiences, writing melodies for them, giving them to singers to record, and then composing backing tracks for them.  She'll post a new "chapter" each Thursday at 3 PM (and leave them up), toward the eventual end of their all forming a big piece — which the participants can get together to perform live on The Other Side!

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  I don't know if it will be the cause of it all, but this Mint Julep will be the cause of your depleting your mint overload:  muddle 15 mint leaves with 1-1-2 teaspoons of Simple Syrup in a julep cup (or an Old Fashioned glass if you must — but really).  Fill with crushed ice.  Pour in 2-1/2 oz. Bourbon, and drizzle 3/4 oz. Simple Syrup on top.  Garnish with mint sprig.
