Hi!

It’s cold! Apparently, you-know-what came down from the sky early this morning. Luckily, I didn’t see it, so it didn’t happen! A little bit of the “s” word and low temperatures can’t keep us from being creative and enjoying music. I hope you’ll join us tomorrow.

Don’t forget that you can always watch our previous streams and videos on our YouTube channel.

Stay creative. (and warm.)

Chris’ music recommendation this week – Elephantasy & Blues for Democracy by Trompe (link to YouTube)
