Young’s Fireside Sessions Announcement:

“Because we are all at home and not venturing out, we will try to do a stream from my fireplace with my lovely wife filming.

"It will be a down-home production, a few songs, a little time together...We will soon be announcing the first one right here at NYA in the Times-Contrarian and on the Hearse Theater schedule, as well as social media except Facebook. As we have previously announced, we are dropping Facebook very, very soon, so if you rely on FB to contact us, prepare for a change.
