Yay can’t wait!!!

I’ve been experimenting all week with how best to broadcast live music through zoom. It’s not as easy as one would think!

I think I landed on a winning combo of gain, distance and position last night. I'm sure it could be better but know it could be way worse!

I am worried just about how my talk will sound. I can imagine how much harder it is for you to get it right.

Are you?

I’ve been recording my own personal zoom meetings and then listening back as my way of sound-checking. Have you tried that?

I’ve done about 30! I’ve learned I just can’t play and sing with too much dynamics or volume or else it will distort so I’m having to approach my songs differently, playing them more softly all the way through.

Wow - I had no idea such a movement was afoot!

I feel a bit less alone today. Very exciting!

When young, hip people get ahold of a movement, you know that movement is going to win.
