Picked up the singer from Nolan’s Band, Sunny Side Up! at the airport last night for their Massachusetts mini-tour. Nolan and Aron were being music geeks the whole way home and took turns picking tracks. Michael Jackson was well represented.

Then Aron put on a track by someone named Mia Gladstone. I brought up the dashboard player to see who it was. Aron said, “Do you like this, Mr. Nolan?” Or maybe it was “Mr. Jonathan.” I said it was really cool. After a minute fiddling with his phone, Aron said, “Mia says thanks!”

I looked later, Mia has 6 songs on Spotify with over a million plays. 😅
