A Personal Note From The Host: @cabelindsay
Dear Community,
Hope this message finds you safe, strong, happy, and well. I encountered an emergency situation in my hometown of Austin, Texas, all week, which prevented me from being present with you, sharing our love of live music. I will explain later. Sorry I missed you. I ask for your forgiveness.
I'm working on a support system now, and thankful to @mipiano, @juliopalomo, @edwardstobia, and other community members stepping up this week to help cultivate our growing community. I am delighted to see so many entries and look forward to listening as soon as possible.
Gratefully,
Cabe
