Thanks, Holly!
What a cool idea, Holly, to let your fans in on the process of you going back over 15 years of your musical history. I'm listening to This Perfect World and it's putting tears in my eyes. Thank you for so many years of beautiful, thoughtful music (and great wit!). Looking forward to listening to all the episodes!
