A WEEKLY MUSIC PUBLICATION

Until Monday

It started as a Friday ritual.

“Until Monday” began as a small weekly gift for close friends, family, and colleagues — one song that nestled perfectly into the weekend ahead. Part gratitude for hard work, part affection, part self-expression.

Now that one song opens a twenty-track playlist built around a single scene, drawing on the two great passions of my career: music and documentary. Each one is made for the deeply human moments that transcend race or region. We’ve all been there, or we know we’ll get there soon.

We’d love for you to join us this week.

The Kids Are Finally Asleep

Featured song — ‘Liza,’ Bill Withers

The kids are asleep in the backseat after a long beach day. Keep the volume low, the selections warm, and the adults quietly delighted. If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.
