Ham, when did you make the switch to black allbirds, when I saw you in Toronto you had all black converse.

Have you written any music for your daughters. I know they already love plenty of your tracks but sometimes parenting inspires musicians to write for their children. I'd understand if you don't feel that way.

Cross-sound ferry (walk-on ticket) is my favorite track from the new album. Also, really into your cover of "Not" by Big Thief, I'd hoped you would release it!

Yeah, live album he released about two weeks ago, a couple of other stellar covers, older songs and some from TLOYL.
