     The Plague Years & What I learned
Expect more remote interviews from Up Close and Acoustic. Live and in-person is
still the preferred method of creating the show. But having had to deal with the fact
of being socially distanced in 2020 & 2021, the old show has learned new tricks!
​All you need to do for me, is use headphones or ear buds and a 'real' mic!
