Interview with Annette Mason Gregg.
Nettie is so good at including your name and in warm ways to include you. Her way makes you feel special. This quote from Maya Angelou came up but also embodies Nettie: “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
(To help you feel clued in, if you haven't listed to the Pam Martin episode, you'll want to go back and hear it first. Starting with Merrill on ep 1 we find out that we are all hurting and that no where, not even perfect San Diego is as idyllic as it seemed.)

The TV show The Good Place--now all done and on streaming things like Netflix to binge the whole thing! SOOO good! But I'm not going to link anything because you might see some spoilers--Avoid any info on it like the Covid!
Much more music was discussed on this one. If you want to go here the music somewhere, I hope you do, but don't want to prescribe somewhere to listen.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folklore_(Taylor_Swift_album) Specifically the My Tears Ricochet song.
Damien Rice, U2, Switchfoot, Need to Breathe, Paul Weller, the Style Council and the Jam, Everything But the Girl, the English Beat and Mumford and Sons
And how one song can ruin an otherwise perfect album. Nettie is looking at you Mother on the Police's Synchronicity! Send all comments about this to either the facebook or twitter Revel Revel feed/page. ;-) Can't wait to hear it!
