Support Musicians During Covid-19!
All of the professional musicians I know have had their work canceled these last few months, and it doesn't look like it's coming back anytime soon. If you like the work of any musicians out there, I encourage you to support their work by buying their albums directly from them (or a service like Bandcamp) or donating to their tip jar.
