Hello everyone, Kirk here, getting ready to premiere season seven of strong songs, though

in the meantime I'm doing some housekeeping on the podcast feed. So what that means, I am going to

take down the recasts that I have been posting of older episodes during the break in between seasons, just

because I want to keep the RSS feed as tidy as possible.

Of course, all of those episodes already exist earlier in the feed, and I hope that listening

to them has reminded some of you to go and check out the backlog and listen to some other

episodes that you may have missed.

However, each of those recasts also included a new music recommendation for me up at the top,

and it's added up to kind of a bunch of cool music that I've recommended over the break in between seasons.

I wanted to preserve those recommendations in one place, so that's what I did. I edited

them all together into this bonus episode that you were about to hear. It basically amounts to

each of those music recommendations in sequence. You can also find a list of the songs and the

albums down in the show notes, and I hope that you check some of this stuff out, because it's a lot of

really good music. The new season of the show will premiere in just a few weeks toward the end

of February. It'll be releasing two weeks early in the Patreon feed for anyone who has access to

that, just like I did last season. I'll have another announcement about season seven and some other

cool updates a little bit closer to the premiere.

But if you would like to get early access to season seven, as always, the way to do it is by going to patreon.com slash strong songs and becoming a patron.

Okay, here come a bunch of music recommendations all in one place.

I hope you find something new to enjoy.

Just a few weeks back, I saw Nickel Creek live in person for the first time in Bend, Oregon.

And wow, they are really good live. Like I knew they were good.
