Minnesota Public Radio Presents: Comfort Keepers (Keepers)

Music is powerful medicine. BEFORE PROZAC, people looking to improve their outlook on life could find the quickest possible relief, not in a prescription, but with a song. We can't claim that Comfort Keepers is a good substitute for the professional advice of your personal physician, but it may tide you over until you can get an appointment. Enclosed you will find a variety of tunes from our Morning Show collection which have proven spirit-lifting powers. Some use poetry. Others go a more direct route with energy and tempo. They have one thing in common- these songs comfort, reassure and inspire. The directions are simple. Open the case. Put the contents in a play¬back device (not included) and take one song, two songs, three songs or large doses of the whole thing over and over again until you feel better. Possible side effects may include persistent whistling, involuntary toe tapping and out loud singing without concern for who might be listening, otherwise known as "Hootenanny's Syndrome." These songs are child-safe and have no expiration date. They can stay in your musical medicine cabinet for life. They are miraculous, and we believe they're keepers.-- TRACKS: 1.The Mary Ellen Carter, Stan Rogers. 2.Sing it! Marcia Ball, Irma Thomas and Tracy Nelson 3. Holy Now, Peter Mayer 4.
