It is 8:36am on Wednesday, I am at work, and I am listening to the Current. A new song starts and I hear a piano... and i KNOW it's you. And it is. I can not tell you how excited I am for you! To hear your voice over the radio at work (the job you helped me get, by the way) was so amazing.
Can't wait to see you perform soon! xoxo
