Random Music News for Monday, December 6, 2021

Out of North America until Thursday. I need a PCR test to even get on the plane to come home. And then there’s a good chance I’ll be tested again (and quarantined!) four-and-half hours later before I can get past Canada Customs when I land.in Toronto. How does that make any sense? Oh, and woe to the person show doesn’t have their ArrivCan app updated.

Rant over. Music news for December 6, 2021.
