I live in Europe so you tube is the only way I get to watch your material. But I would love to come see you Live in the future. To this end all of us who’s income has not been too severely affected by the pandemic and who love this band must give a little to make sure they are still around when I finally get to go see them live. These are times that will teach us all to share and care a little more 👍😁👏
