I have lived with Long Covid since the start of 2022 until the time of this release and maybe beyond. I wrote this song almost 20 years ago, but it somehow seems apt for these times.

Larry Mindel makes music that draws on folk and jazz traditions. Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, David Crosby, Rickie Lee Jones, Sam Amidon from North America, and Laura Marling, John Martyn, Richard Thompson, Karen Matheson and Karine Polwart from the UK are key influences - but also new classicists like Olafur Arnalds, bands such as Steely Dan and minimalists like Terry Riley.

Geographic and human landscapes come together -  in the frozen Antarctic, a fragile wetlands in New Zealand,  the Thames estuary, the dry red dust of the Australian outback, the lowlands of Suffolk, the remote islands of the Scottish Hebrides.... 

Larry came to music late in life. From an early age, he has written songs, made private mixtapes, and gigged in various bands. It's only now, in his seventies, that he's hitting his stride...
