Back from a bit of a hiatus, armed with new superior audio compression tools... I'm Lightning Lucas and welcome to my musical podcast.  It's called Hold That Note.  You can find many things related to the show at HoldThatNote.net and you can listen to it on that website or wherever you get your podcasts ... 

The show features my songs, old and new... songs of Life and Love, Depth and Lack Thereof.  Today's new song is mostly in the 'Depth' category, though it has some funny lines as well.  I also riff in answer to questions about previous episodes or about life in general.

Today's call to action is: 

             Check out my Patreon page: 

                     https://www.patreon.com/lightninglucas ... 

             Signing up here is one of the main ways you can support the show and help me keep food on the table.

Perhaps there will be different calls to action different weeks, but that's the one I'm sticking with today.

Have a wonderful listening week, and I'll see you next Friday!

Thank you for using some of your valuable time to listen to my musical podcast, where each week we hear two songs, usually one old and one new.  Here are two more songs!  The first one appeared on my 2014 Christian album "Wash Me / Walk On Water" which you can find here:

https://lightninglucas.bandcamp.com/album/wash-me-walk-on-water

The second song today is "Mere Mortals" and it relates to the C.S. Lewis quote that you'll hear me talk about throughout the episode.  The quote comes from the essay "The Weight of Glory"...

Thank you for checking out my musical podcast, where each week we hear two songs, usually one old and one new.  This week's themes are cold and sleep... Today, the first song is called Cold In This Sunshine and it moves from the literal to the metaphorical when it comes to being cold despite it being sunny out. The second song is based on a YouTube Short that I wrote 2 years ago.

Thank you for checking out my musical podcast, where each week we hear two songs, usually one old and one new.  This week's theme is death... Today, the first song is called Sail On and it was written for my grandpa as he lay dying.  The second song is based on Ecclesiastes and it's a real downer.  I hope these songs can help you access your emotions.

Welcome to my musical podcast where each week we hear two songs, usually one old and one new.  Today, the first song is the fresh one, written and recorded yesterday.  It is about how we all have too many t-shirts.  The second song is about Grandpa's feet stinking and I co-wrote it with Katherin Benson at John McCutcheon's songwriting camp in 2015.
