In this episode I have a great conversation with Celia Woodsmith the lead singer of the Americana, Bluegrass label defying all female band Della Mae. Celia kicks the conversation off with what makes her tick—gives her passion. She talks some about Della Mae’s life changing visit to Pakistan which led to a little TED TALK entitled—A Soft Drink and a Song in the Hills of Pakistan.Even though this happened many years ago the current relevance is eye opening. When asked about something funny that has happened to Della Mae---let’s just say the story is hilarious. We talked about how the Pandemic is changing us and that led to Pretty Stories on Sunday’s and more. The conversation ends with an honest talk back about a couple of Della Mae’s recent songs---Headlights and The Way it Was Before that address—or better said tell stories of our current reality of how we are divided as a people and how we must speak truth (tell stories) and hopefully let people move into the change that we can all make.
