VIDEO: Jeremy Schonfeld Shares a New Song For the Trying Times

Composer/lyricist and performer Jeremy Schonfeld posted a video to Facebook, of himself playing a new song to help people cope with the trying times.

"Got a keyboard just before lockdown here. Good thing. Got a couple of new tunes brewing," he writes.

He also offered some inspirational words. "Was thinking about arts and artists and anybody else who faces the darkness, especially in dark times such as these," he said. "Wrote this tune for us. Don't give up hope."
