My husband Kyle is having open heart surgery as I type. He’s in a great hospital, with great doctors, and while the procedure is as “routine” as open heart can be, I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t scary and surreal. Could you play the Beta Band’s Dry the Rain? It was one of the first songs Kyle played for me years ago when we fist started dating and one of the first I’ll play for him in recovery. Thank you so much! \n\nMichelle in Philly\n--\n“I will now sell five copies of the Three E.P’s by the Beta Band.”-- Rob (John Cusack) in \"High Fidelity\" -- Watch Steve Mason of The Beta Band perform \"Dry the Rain\" from our LIVE on KEXP Studio session from May 2024: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVEeHIdN8D4","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
