And our last song for today...

We are playing two Nick Lowe covers - first The Connells with Cruel to be Kind and then Elvis Costello & the Attractions with (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding #YourCovered

Because it is a great song from a great band.

Our last set today includes Royal Ottawa, The Mayflies USA, Matt Moran, The Connells, Elvis Costello & The Attractions, and our last song for today... hmmmm... what will that song be?

Thanks for listening today.

No matter how heavy the week feels, remember that small steps still move mountains. Your effort matters, your kindness matters, and the world is better because you’re in it. Keep going—you’ve got this.

I love the traveling power music has where boundaries and borders don't mean anything. Music can take us all along, for example: our first set went from the American midwest, to Australia and then the east coast of the U.S. to England. #YTAA #MusicMatters
