It was a delight to have Lucy Michelle in studio. She played a few songs, we chatted about her music, art and life. It was fun to hear about how entwined her music, art and children are and how having the pressure of the time balance has helped her become more efficient in honing inspiration. Her latest album, Womanly, gives voice to the concepts and challenges we experience as kids and re-experience through the kids we know.
There are times when I listen to the songs as a child and other times as the adult. It’s comforting and inspiring either way. Thanks to technical continuing difficulties we don’t have the audio recording of the show but we do have a recording of our interview.
The theme was Minnesota place names. Thanks to folks for their requests and recommendations – we had almost 3 hours of requests sent. You can listen to the aspirational playlist on Spotify. Or check out what we actually played below.
