About "Put Another Nail In"

Colette lost her dad in 2020. He was a big influence on her life, and the reason she connected with the guitar.

THIS song was mentioned on WGBH's Takeaway topic "Songs That Helped Us Through 2020" & that's some pretty-good music news that also proves that music helps heal.
