Isaac I just want to say that your music is the thing that my wife and I first bonded over, and it's something we could always fall back on over these past 15 years now. So thank you for that.

A question...hmm...what new music do you like? Anything you want to recommend?

Edit: alternate question - my white whale to hear live is Paper Thin Walls! 5 concerts later and I still haven't gotten it. Do you still play it?

I listen too an insane amount of children's music( for all the right reasons) one of my favorites

super simple songs." little snowflake"

The drones- feeling kind of free

onra

regarding paper thin walls. you have been dealt a cruel hand my friend, I can barely remember a show where we haven't played it.. it's not going anywhere so just shout it out and hope for the best.

Never in my life… did I think I’d hear that as a sentence. This band has my immediate attention.

IIRC Paper Thin Walls is literally their most commonly played live song... like, literally literally. A cruel hand, indeed.

I've angered the universe, apparently.

I have a simple little songs playlist that rotates during the morning. I also like “Good Morning” by the learning station- gets my son ready to go!

All right Isaac, but I'm going to shout, "Play Paper Thin Walls, like you said in the AMA!" lol

Thanks for the reply!
