    Your creative energy displayed during this pandemic via recent tracks/videos contain social relevance, cynical humor & high caliber artistry. Admirable traits in my estimation since the closest thing to creativity I've done lately is clean my CD collection! Seriously, this is music that matters, music that touches the inner psyche & (strictly speaking for myself) sometimes the psycho within. Again, amazing.
