    I first heard this song from my next door neighbors. He is an older gentlemen and his wife passed in early 2020. His family comes over on Sundays and they blast music in their driveway and have a dance party with mostly gospel music or jazz. My family and I always dance in our driveway with them and that's when I heard this song. I really loved it and now I'm a big fan of Jon Batiste. Thank you to my neighbors!

He embodies the eccentricity, the swagger, the unique style and charisma of the place, with dignity, grace and humour. So much fabulous work from Jon and his brilliant band members over the last few months - loved his tiny desk performance, his jazz ensemble, his beautiful intertwined national anthems, and that terrific blast "tell the truth". Yes, indeed.
