Spectrum News: UC student Abby Holliday performs COVID-19 song to raise spirits
UC family medicine physician, Michael Holliday, joins his daughter in music video
With the coronavirus dominating the topic of discussion and impacting daily lives, most families are stuck at home looking for things to do. So, University of Cincinnati senior Abby Holliday decided to take everything she was feeling and experiencing about COVID-19, and make a song out of it—and post it on Facebook—where it’s been shared more than 700 times.
Abby spoke with Spectrum News about her song which the social work major and her family celebrated during a music video about sheltering in place with family to stay safe and health in the midst of COVID-19. Michael Holliday, MD, associate professor of family medicine, appeared in the video with his son Luke, daughters, Grace (also a UC student) and Rachel, along with wife Holly and mother-in-law, Brenda Hardin.
