Hello, lovely show. I was curios, what song was playing around 00:18 to 00:58? At 00:49 I think I hear, “The place has started out as if somehow I forgot”, but I tried searching that and couldn’t find that particular song. If the songs are credited somewhere on the site, and I just missed them, then I’d be happy to be provided with a link as to allow me solve this problem should it arise again in the future. Thanks.
QuoteWhat a great show! Like Anthony, I would also like to know the name of that song. Thanks.
