I’m sure it should go without saying, but I love that you used Stevo quotes to tie this all together.

You are one my many working-musician friends, and I can’t truly empathize with the hard hit that you all have taken from this situation. Yes, I may be a “musician” of sorts, but it’s certainly not my day-job or source of income, so admittedly, I can’t relate.

However, I hope you know that I do understand that music is the glue that holds us together. You guys are just as “essential” in my eyes as any other workers. You guys keep us sane.

Don’t ever think for a second, that you are unappreciated. The girls and I listen to your music almost daily and we can’t wait to see you perform again. Hang in there, friend. Thank you for doing what you do. Much love from the Russell family ❤️
