Have you ever just gone to work when you were not feeling 100%?

All that and more on this episode.

A lot has changed since I was a teenager. Especially how we experience music.

We used to have physical media and now everything is streamed.

We also have outside forces that change what people are looking for in music and that in turn makes the music both more accessible and more apt to change.

Let's talk all about it on this episode.

We talk about how we don't have enough teachers in the United States.

We also look into my adventures in substitute teaching.

Today we talk about two things, one for the beginning of the year and one for the beginning of the school year.

This episode looks at a couple of Christmas songs that I grew up with. I dive into the history of them and perform each.
