Hi. Well welcome back, welcome to 2020, the roaring twenties maybe the roaring fires maybe, the roaring masses maybe, lots to roar about - in satisfaction maybe in rage definitely. Its been awhile because I’ve been working on the Oshawa Music Awards. Lots of news coming but until then ease into this.

"I've been sober for eight years now, and I've made that long walk home from the bar or wherever I was coming home from many, many times in my life. So it's a really personal song for me. When I was writing it, I could really see the movie in my head." - Lynne Hanson

I was watching an ad for No Frills, a video by Scott Cudmore and I started thinking about art, because that ad is art and how art is reinterpretation of life, art is a question of what is and who we are and who we are as art and there is a further story about how who we think we are can be reinterpreted as pixels for one or paint daubs for another. Who will you trust to reinterpret you? Who will you trust to re-constitute you? Would you even let go of your ego? But while I ponder here are tonight’s guests.

---

“This song is a celebration of me finding my way to womanhood and because of that, opening my arms to love.” - LIA

---

"During that period of 180 days, I often wondered what it would be like if I ever reached the other side; a seemingly unattainable goal. This song is an homage to that dream-like period." - Ada Lea
