I’ll be with gathering with big family and things over the next week or two. I’ll probably still share some videos everyday but not as ambitious as usual. Just a head a up. I appreciate my peoples who love this music as much as I do. This is fun and definitely not over
Little explainer of my madness. During the week I share mostly Jazz using different themes each day as a launch pad to dive. On weekends I share mostly soul music. Weeknights I’ll usually share a Blues. And on weekday mornings I like to share music I find a grounding, sweet way to start the day.
