Most bands write down a set list to keep track of the order in which they're performing

their songs and you'd be surprised how much mayhem poor set list organization can cause.

A smart band leader will collect set lists after the show just to make sure no one accidentally

keeps one and mixes it in down the road.

Welcome to Strong Songs, a podcast about music.

I'm your host Kirk Hamilton and I'm so glad you all joined me for another year-long set list

about singing, songwriting, set list maintenance, music production, and above all else listening.

Thank you so much to everyone who chipped in to help support the creation of Strong Songs

in Year 3.

It's been an amazing year I've been able to dedicate so much time and care to this show,

thanks to all of your support.

If you'd like to support the creation of Strong Songs, you can become a patron, make

a one-time donation, buy some merch, or just tell a friend about the show.

On this episode, it's the end of Year 3, so it's time for a look back at the many, many

hours of Strong Songs since January, from Ziggy and Heathcliff to Bellamy and Byrne.

They say time flies when you're having fun in this past year's been stratospheric, so

throw some garbage in the flux, hit 88, and forget those roads.

Oh man, another year of Strong Songs is in the bag, and I kind of can't believe it.

I can't believe how long I've been making this show, and every time I stop to look back,

I can't believe how far back the road behind me stretches.

This has been a real journey.

Year 3 of Strong Songs has been a real journey.
