I wish we were all hippies and we all did yoga, lived in cottages, smoked weed, accepted everyone for who they are and listened to rad music

[Kim Simmonds @Savoy_Brown]

Sad to hear of Peter Green's passing. Such an influence on me. Still is. RIP

[Jandoli Institute @Jandoli_Inst]

Time to wrap up. A big thank you to @carolemcnall, @patrickhosken and @stephen_wilt for sharing your insights. Thanks too to all have joined in tonight’s #JandoliChat discussion.

@Jandoli_Inst What a great line to go with the times! #Jandolichat

[Stephen Wilt @stephen_wilt]

A6: After a long look at his catalog, I see his 1968 release, For Once in my Life, as a good testament for the future. As we continue, we can start controlling what we do and take charge of where we want the world to go! Happy Birthday to a legend! #Jandolichat

[Jandoli Institute @Jandoli_Inst]

Q6: Let’s end on a high note. Stevie Wonder turns 70 tomorrow. What Stevie Wonder song gives us the best hope for the future? #JandoliChat

[Stephen Wilt @stephen_wilt]

@carolemcnall I couldn't agree more, it's always nice to slow down and take a look around.

[Stephen Wilt @stephen_wilt]

I could only see this as them wanting to back it up with a tour. Now's the time for music to be released. Think of Bob Dylan released his first full-length album in 8 years. I could only see waiting as a cash grab. #Jandolichat

[Jandoli Institute @Jandoli_Inst]

Panelists: How would you answer? #JandoliChat

[Stephen Wilt @stephen_wilt]

A5: It most definitely has. Besides the music being created, artists have been releasing new acoustic covers, home concerts, and even full length shows that were previously pay-per-view. Artists are allowing a new take on their music, and I can’t get enough of it. #Jandolichat

[Jandoli Institute @Jandoli_Inst]

Q5: Some of you may have answered this already, but has the pandemic given you an opportunity to listen to something new or different from what you usually would listen to? #JandoliChat

[Stephen Wilt @stephen_wilt]

A4: Musicians seem to understand that things must be taken slow. I would love to see a “drive-in” show, but as far as a return to normal? I agree with the year halt. When you are able to see your favorite band again, it will make it all the better. #Jandolichat

[Jandoli Institute @Jandoli_Inst]

Q4: We have another Q4 (I teach journalism, not math): What do you foresee for live concerts in the future? Are the days of crowded clubs and arena shows behind us? #JandoliChat

[Stephen Wilt @stephen_wilt]

@patrickhosken @Bandcamp @bandcamp has proven to be an artist's best friend! I love to see all they are doing, especially when musicians need it most.

[Stephen Wilt @stephen_wilt]

@carolemcnall I agree, with the popularity of vinyl back on the rise, hopefully, this too can help out the struggling musician

[Stephen Wilt @stephen_wilt]

The best thing we can do is buy a physical copy of their music, and purchase some merch. An artist makes a substantial amount more off the sale of a single cd then streaming sites could ever give them! Time to start adding to that CD collection once again! #Jandolichat

[Stephen Wilt @stephen_wilt]

@Jandoli_Inst @patrickhosken Couldn't agree more, besides who doesn't love holding the music in their hands

[Jandoli Institute @Jandoli_Inst]

Beachboys and Dylan. Survived the '60s, still going strong during a global pandemic

[Stephen Wilt @stephen_wilt]

A3: As they say, music soothes the savage beast. It has provided a great escape for anyone who’s cooped up at home. It can take you on an emotional journey and help get you through the toughest of times. One thing you’ll never have to lose is a great tune! #Jandolichat

[Jandoli Institute @Jandoli_Inst]

Q3: Enjoying all your comments. Here is a new question: What is it about music that we find comforting and inspiring during times of crisis? #JandoliChat

[Stephen Wilt @stephen_wilt]

@carolemcnall @Jandoli_Inst That's a great representation of where we're at!

[Stephen Wilt @stephen_wilt]

@Jandoli_Inst With Dylan's release of new music and a full-length album, the quarantine seems to be a great headspace for writing. One that particularly stuck out was @mikelove's latest release, This too Shall Pass. It depicts the times we live in, with the classic Beachboys twist #Jandolichat

[Stephen Wilt @stephen_wilt]

A1: @Joebonamasa partnered with @keepingthebluesalive to provide a relief fund for touring musicians. Here he has listed special events with the guitarist as well as an easy text form of donation. It’s a definitive lifeline for the struggling industry! #Jandolichat

[Jandoli Institute @Jandoli_Inst]

Q1: Let’s get started. Since the pandemic began, we’ve had fundraisers featuring music stars, musicians doing live performances from their homes and other special moments. Is there one event that touched you more than any of the others? #JandoliChat

[Stephen Wilt @stephen_wilt]

Hello, I'm Steve Wilt, Senior Journalism Major @StBonaventure and former station manager of two years for WSBU-FM. There I began my career of interviewing musicians both on-air and off. Most recently I started a podcast, telling the stories of music's finest! #Jandolichat

[Jandoli Institute @Jandoli_Inst]

We have a great panel, so I’m going to ask our #JandoliChat panelists to introduce themselves.

[Richard A. Lee @richleeonline]

I'm hosting a Twitter chat on the role of music during the pandemic. You can join the discussion at #JandoliChat on Tuesday at 7 p.m. I'll be joined by @carolemcnall, @patrickhosken and @stephen_wilt. https://t.co/NJ81YOPyMg
