These are videos from Holly’s and my live stream video series that we produced twice a week (30 to 45 minutes in length). They were each followed by a zoom at noon CST (Corky Siegel Time). we are continuing today. It began on March 18th 2020 “The Shutdown” from the great Damnpandic when Mother Nature sent us to our rooms. The premiere show was called; “Breakfast with Ernie” that featured Ernie Watts 2x Grammy jazz saxophone icon.
