I was intending to release this song as a single but decided to do "Apothecary" instead. Downside is this one has barely any streams on it. It's a shame, because I think it's a pretty good one. I wrote it the day after John Prine passed:

Singing some songs at Blind Corner/Go Brewing in Naperville this Sunday afternoon, 11/9. We can watch the end of the Bears game together. Hopefully it’ll be less stressful than the last one 🐻⬇️
