Welcome to the Morning Minute! Ask a music - related question below, and I'll attempt to answer it in about a minute tomorrow morning!

I realized I could use this 5am wake up call to greet all my subscribers in the morning with a nugget of information instead of signaling virtue and wasting your time with my thoughts. I'm going to post this every morning until the 31st of January, and then as much as possible after that if we all like it!

This is not a replacement for my longer videos, which will still go up on Mondays between 12 and 2pm EST.
