Who's up to a tour of my favorite music? I feel the need to share some of the pieces that move me the most and what they mean to me. I'm only going to bother if enough folks show interest. Like or better yet share and/or comment to indicate as much 💓

Anyone in the Seattle area want to hang out in person sometime? My DMs (and other communication methods if you know me) are open.
Being a hermit sucks. I need in person social time.
Unfortunately this would require wearing a mask indoors, though I can provide a sip valve if you want.
