Greetings I thought about emailing earlier this week. But today is Bandcamp Friday, and I have a new Musical Pin. “What’s a Musical Pin?” you ask? Well… I talk about it in the latest Pub Songs & Stories podcast (follow and listen here). Basically, it’s the same as an “Album Pin”. It’s a lapel pin […]
