This week my computer died so all my plans for this episode were ruined! But luckily I was interviewed a day or two earlier by one of my students for a podcast assignment she had for school :) I was really flattered to be asked, and her questions were great - we ended up covering such diverse topics as: the impact of lockdown on musicians, the creative process, Indian music, Kate Bush & more. Thanks for listening. Follow me here or on YouTube.
