Here is hoping you are safe and healthy in this weirdest of times. Staying busy helps, as so many of us are working from home. Of course, my mission has been keeping my radio station WMOT on the air, both for the comfort of the music, and to keep the audience updated about COVID-19. Music provides a link to normalcy which is most welcome right now. I love how creative people are being on the socials, and it is amazing how many live streaming shows are happening every day.

So much of an artist’s income comes from touring, which is just not possible at the moment. Over the course of the last couple of decades, Shannon McNally has become quite the gig MVP. When we filmed her last year, she was about to go on the road with Steve Earle & The Dukes. She’s done stints with Rodney Crowell, who produced her Black Irish album, and most recently contributed to Just Like Moby Dick from the iconic Terry Allen & The Panhandle Mystery Band. Oh yeah and she has new music coming sometime this year, too! Speaking of which, especially now, artists need your support. Buy a CD or some merch, or leave a tip for their live streaming sessions. It is shocking to have the entire live audience construct crumble before our eyes. Please help if you are able. Today’s Music Fog tune is brand new premiere from Shannon McNally's forthcoming album. “Where Are You Tonight?” was filmed during a private recording session in Nashville.
