Beautiful work as always, Mark, and very timely about the economic struggles artists are facing now. It's a brutal world out there for musicians.

Thanks, Glenn! It's mind blowing the challenges they face-I'm hoping to dive into the issue a little more.

Stay safe and warm. Although it looks like CWG has downgraded the forecast a little bit.

Hey Glenn, Veronica North here - thanks for your comment - I feel seen when people acknowledge this! I work full time as a nurse and balance making art on the side - but would love to be able to make this my full time career. Maybe someday!

Echoing your words on the importance of small venues that give artists a chance to build their craft. I remember playing various small venues in Vancouver and Bellingham when I started years ago. Equally important is the coverage that you are giving these artists as they build their presence in the music world. Kudos to you and your awesome work!
