The great Americana singer Pi Jacobs has a wonderful idea of how to cope in the face of Covid-19: dance and sing. In her newly released single off her Two Truths And a Lie album,  called &quot;No Sin to Be Poor,&quot; the effervescent Jacobs recalls her own childhood poverty, and how they managed to get through it by having fun and being silly. &quot;There&apos;s no shame in needing help,&quot; she says in our chat. And while many people now might need that help, there is never a better time to find creative expressive ways of dealing with it. Her video for the song features real films made by family, friends and fans and posted on social media with the hashtag #NoSin2BPoor.

Connections to other humans are crucial. But what does that look like? How can we trust others?

Trusting one another--whomever we might be, whatever race, creed, religion, political persuasion--we have to learn to listen to one another and find a common vibration. We need to get in tune, and in this podcast Steph will chat with the amazing people who create and work with sound and music, those people who make creating harmony their mission! We have a lot to learn from one another, and it all starts with DEEP LISTENING!
