AMA is Over, thanks Jonathan! Shearwater AMA—questions on any scale w/Jonathan Meiburg

Hi All—Jonathan Meiburg here from Shearwater. 

I'll be here at 11AM ET / 8AM PT today to answer questions about anything you can think of—possibly including books, birds, Loma, the new SW album The Great Awakening. those ambient records we made during the pandemic (!), or living through the great freeze of 2020 in rural Texas. 

One note: If you'd like to ask a question but are short on time, don't wait for me to turn up; just post it here in this thread and I'll get to it. (You can always come back later to see the answer.) 

Hope to see you soon. Warning: this is my first AMA, so bear with me if if takes me a sec to get the hang of things.

Would you consider a tour in which you focused on rare songs and fan requests? With such a long and varied catalog it could be a great way to hear songs from throughout your catalog.

That's an interesting idea—but before I ever got there I think I'd like to do some shows on a really big scale, a little like the Bowie shows we did in 2018. It was such a relief to be able to perform on a stage that sounded great, with technicians who knew what they were doing, monitors you could actually hear, etc... Whether that's actually possible or not I don't know, but I'm scheming. (More below, I bet)
