AMERICANAFEST Wrap Up - From An Intern!

By Alexa Sangalis

Now that all AMERICANAFEST events are completed and everyone’s life is back to normal, it’s time to reminisce on what a fabulous week that was! We had the pleasure of being a part of so many events at AMERICANAFEST this year, and so did I (Olivia Management’s 19-year-old intern, Alexa!). I felt so lucky and awe-struck by each of the events I attended, especially the ones OM produced. Call me biased. I went to two of our events this year: A Tribute to Mary Gauthier and In The Round. If you didn’t get the chance to catch the events in person, don’t worry, click here to see our Olivia Management highlight of the week on Instagram.

Last Tuesday, we kicked off the week with the Tribute to Mary Gauthier at City Winery. The lineup of this show was truly one of a kind. Mary is such a beautiful songwriter who has influenced so many musicians and touched the hearts of Americana music lovers everywhere. Mary’s songs were covered all through the night by many of her close friends, including EmmyLou Harris, Gretchen Peters, Lori McKenna, Jamiee Harris, and so many more. I had a unique perspective of the event because I had the job of working the merch table with some fellow friends from Olivia Management. Almost everybody who came up to purchase something (speaking of which, you can also buy Mary’s amazing merch here) shared a bit of their love for Mary with us. We met a woman who flew from Australia to celebrate her love of folk music, many, many people who praised Mary’s book, “Saved by a Song,” a man who got his book signed by Mary herself, and even a City Winery employee who asked who was performing because she loved the music so much. I knew that Mary Gauthier is critically acclaimed and appreciated by many, but I only knew this after experiencing the tribute and meeting all of those lovely Americana lovers.

Then, on Saturday, it was a showcase of Olivia Management clients at Jackalope Brewing Company. In case you didn’t know, not only are we a Nashville-based folk and Americana artist management company, but we also consult for emerging artists. Our lovely CEO and Founder, Erin Anderson, advises artists in career decisions and helps them organize their lives as an artist. So Saturday was 7 amazing hours of showcasing our consulting and management clients alike. Click HERE to view the full lineup, and HERE to watch some highlights of the day! Once again, I had the pleasure of working the merch table for most of the morning. This time, I got to talk with emerging artists, make the merch table all pretty as each artist rotated, and meet audience members who were actively discovering the new music they would be streaming in the future. This showcase was really special for me. Seeing so many people who have a dream and a love of music is inspiring to anybody, and especially to a 19-year-old intern.

Here’s a recap: our management clients are awesome, our consulting clients are awesome, and Olivia Management is awesome. From my perspective, AMERICANAFEST is a celebration of good music (of course), good songwriting, and good times. Even as an intern, I was able to experience all of these celebrations firsthand. If you didn’t go to any Olivia Management events, you may have missed out, but now you know to join us in the future. Until then, check out our artists on tour and stay tuned for Olivia Management updates on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and our website.

We’ll see you next year, AMERICANAFEST!

Welcoming our Fall 2024 Interns!

Here at Olivia Management, we thrive off of teamwork, which is why it’s so exciting every season when we get to welcome our new interns! This fall, we have four lovely student interns from Belmont University joining our team to help us serve our artists!

 

Alexa Sangalis

Alexa Sangalis

Alexa is a senior songwriting major and music business minor at Belmont University. She’s been obsessed with the songs “Second Nature” by Clairo and “360” by Charli XCX. Though it can’t be pinpointed to this exact moment, Alexa shares that she remembers begging her mom for a guitar when she was 7 and her love for music has only grown since then. Her favorite places in Nashville are (not biased at all) Belmont and the music venues in town!

 

Charlotte Ulman

Charlotte Ulman

Charlotte is a senior music business major with an emphasis in tour operations at Belmont University. As of recent, Twenty One Pilots and Jeremy Zucker have been frequent artists she’s been listening to. Her interest for the music industry and desire to be a part of the live show process sparked from playing guitar in School of Rock growing up and going to concerts! Her favorite places in Nashville are music venues, specifically Brooklyn Bowl and The Basement East.

 

Faith Harting

Faith Harting

Faith is a senior Media and Entertainment major with a minor of Studio Art at Belmont University. Two songs she’s been enjoying listening to are “Love You Tonight” by Ella Langley and “Roulette on the Heart” by Conner Smith & Hailey Whitters. Growing up, she remembers music always playing around her house, which has brought joy to her life and long-term inspired her to enter into the music business! Her favorite places in Nashville are 21st Ave and 12th South because she loves the cute coffee shops and shopping— more specifically, the sweet little farm stand during the Fall on 12th.

 

Lexi Staebler

Lexi Staebler

Lexi is majoring in songwriting with a minor in music business at Belmont University. Her favorite song right now is “Die with a Smile” by Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga. Her love for music came from her love for entertaining/being a performer, which has developed into writing her own original music which she plays with her band. Her favorite place in Nashville is the late “WildHorse Saloon,” a classic line-dancing establishment located off of the main Broadway strip.

 

We’re looking forward to another great season, developing and working side by side with our artists!

Olivia Management Artists - Music in Motion Picture

By Miriam DeYoung

Have you ever thought about how some of your favorite movies and television shows wouldn’t be the same without music? Music in motion pictures, known as music synchronization, is responsible for setting the scene, increasing drama, pulling audiences in, and so much more and many of our artists' music has helped do this for many television shows and movies that you’ve probably seen. Here are a couple of highlights of our artist’s sync placements.

Mary Gauthier
Yellowstone: Season 1 Episode 9 - Mercy Now
America’s Got Talent: Season 16 Episode 7 - Worthy

Josh Radnor 
Centaurworld: Seasons 1 and 2 - Centaurworld Theme, Durple Drop

Derek Webb

Olivia Management Artists and Authors

At Olivia Management, we have many brilliant Americana artists who write and put out amazing music, but did you know that many of our artists have also released books as well?

Saved by a Song: The Art and Healing Power of Songwriting - Mary Gauthier
Mary pulls back the curtain and lets readers see behind the scenes of what it’s like to be a songwriter, shares her thoughts and stories, and so much more. Saved by a Song was released in July of 2021 and was called a “magnificent must-read” by Rolling Stones.
Not only is Saved by a Song available online, you can also listen to Mary read it herself on Audible.

Thirties: The Album in Portrait and Prose Book - Jill Andrews
In this portrait and prose book, Jill shares deeper insight into her thirties, sharing more than she felt she could in three-minute songs. Through beautiful, lyrical prose and artistic photography, Jill captures life experiences spanning from the joys of motherhood to isolation. You can purchase your very own copy on her website now.

The Ringing Bell - Derek Webb
This graphic novel by Derek and designer Chris Koelle explores the concept of peace in this day and age. Derek confessed that “beautiful art sometimes manages to sway my heart from vice to virtue.” Available on Derek’s website, this is a piece you don’t want to miss.

Intern Wrap-Up: Evan Gilbreath

In April of 2023, I sat next to my broken radiator in the smallest dorm room (not even fit for a broom closet, if we’re being honest) staring at my computer and biting my nails prior to the daunting Zoom interview. Earlier that afternoon, as the crisp spring showers of London beat down on the canopy of my local Underground Station, I stood by the turnstiles waiting for the rain to pass and pondered if I would ever feel involved in the Nashville music scene again after being abroad. It was quite dramatic, I know, and the gloomy weather didn’t help my spiraling thoughts. However, I couldn’t help but feel disconnected from school, peers, and most importantly, the career field I loved.

But as I spoke with Grace Carey-Hill on the interview I soon felt at peace because I remembered how vibrant and kind some of the people in the Nashville music industry can be. It’s not everyday that you happen across a company like Olivia Management: a women-run artist management firm succeeding and representing iconic artists that add greatly to the musical fabric of Nashville.

Artist management was something I never pictured myself doing, but as I continued my college career, I knew I needed to broaden my horizons. Working with the amazing women of this company, along with the other interns, has led me to greatly consider artist management as a future career. The people at this company have taught me how to girl-boss (girl-bossing is purely a state of mind) my way through challenging tasks, embrace creativity, and most importantly, grab some good Mexican food together when the day’s plans goes awry. This field changes every day and you never know the obstacles you might run into. Olivia Management is committed to excellence, honesty, integrity, and genuine connection, and I don’t think there is any other group of people who illustrates these values as much as Erin, Grace, Mackenzie, and Maddy.

So, as my days at OM continue to dwindle down, I reflect on how grateful I am that I was able to gain these experiences. I am more confident in my future and I know that these amazing people have my back. These are the parts of college that I will never forget.

Cheers,

Evan

History of Olivia Management

by Ivan Grimblat

Olivia Management was founded in 2012 when Erin Anderson (Manager/Founder/CEO/Girl-boss) left her job at Amazon and took the leap into her real passion.

She had been working for the previous two years in Artist Relations and Product Management for Amazon Music, helping build products on the back end and making it easier for artists, labels, and managers to manage their artists' profiles and presence on Amazon.com, as well as creating an artist relations program that brought artist into the Amazon offices to treat employees to performances and further Amazon's relationships within the music industry.

“Friends of mine in a great band were looking for a manager and it felt like the perfect time to jump,” says Erin.

Immediately after leaving her 9-5, she signed 3 more clients and started developing her business. She decided to call it Olivia Management after her great grandmother, Olivia, who was an entrepreneur “before the word was cool.” Erin hired Olivia Management’s first ever part-time employee about 3 years after starting the company and the first full-time employee a year after that.

Olivia Management now manages 8 artists and has two full-time employees, one part-time employee and between 4 and 5 interns every semester, helping Erin run and develop her business even further.

About 5 years in, Erin started doing independent artist consulting on top of full-time management, which she still does up to this day.

“It's a way that I can share what I am learning with my full-time clients with up and coming artists as well,” she mentioned.

There are some really fun new things in store for the team at Olivia Management, so stay tuned for upcoming announcements about new services and ways Erin and her team are planning to help artists.

Intern Wrap Up: Maddie Humble

by Maddie Humble

Words truly can’t describe how much my time here at Olivia Management has meant to me. I came into this internship unsure if artist management truly was what I wanted to do after college. Now, I am walking out KNOWING that this is truly what I want to pursue.

I mainly want to thank Erin. Watching her with her artists and seeing how much she loves them and pours herself into them has inspired me. Being able to see just how hard she works day in and day out but also staying calm and kind within the midst of it all gives me so much hope for the future of the music industry.

I have made a friend in her as well as Merk, Grace, and Maddy whom I look up to more than they can ever know.

With this being said, I am planning on starting my own artist management company in the future as well as starting out by managing a few of my friends who are artists. I also plan on continuing my path as an artist on the side as well.

I can’t believe my time here at OM is coming to a close, but I can’t wait to see what else the future holds!

I wish nothing but the best for OM and look forward to all that it will accomplish as the years go on.

Peace and blessings to you all!

Intern Wrap-Up: Lauren Campbell

by Lauren Campbell

Looking back, I am grateful for the ways that Olivia Management has pushed me to grow and apply my skills in unexpected ways. Let me explain:

When I applied to the OM internship in the spring of 2022, I never expected to be working here a year later. I have never taken a class on the music business, written a song, or anything that I imagined was a prerequisite to working in the music industry. Still, Erin took a chance on me, and I am grateful. I have been learning non-stop about the entertainment industry since my first day at OM, so it is bittersweet to recount the end of my time here.

I study English at Belmont University, and my professors often tell their students that the analytical and creative problem-solving skills we learn in the major courses are universal needs in any business. I knew my professors were right, but I had only worked in traditional English-related spaces before I worked for OM. I enjoyed those experiences immensely. Still, I felt like I had not taken a chance on exploring other career paths, which I desired to do before I graduated college.

I came across OM at the perfect time. I was at a Belmont University internship fair, and the art at the OM table caught my eye. Artists like Jill Andrews, Madeleine Kelson, and Ruthie Collins have such vibrant and earthy art that communicated to me that OM represented a lot of Folk/Americana artists, which is my favorite musical genre. This seemed the fresh opportunity I was looking to experience.

I approached the table and was greeted by OM employees Grace and Mackenzie. They told me about how OM is a women-led musical artist management company that stands for growing the opportunities and audiences of independent artists in Nashville.

Truthfully, I had no idea what artist management consisted of before speaking with them. Grace and Mackenzie had nothing but positive things to say about their employment at OM and their boss, Erin. I had a good feeling about them, and I decided to apply.

My first day at OM in January 2023 marked my first time working in the entertainment industry. I arrived at the office space, nervously anticipating the training session to prepare me for this new opportunity. Immediately, Erin set high standards for how interns were expected to behave and work. The office space accommodates six people, so unlike some internships, I always had a direct line of communication with the person sending me tasks to complete, and had someone check to see if I was meeting the standards. This effective communication is one of the major benefits I experienced at OM.

Outside the office, some of my favorite tasks included hanging up artist posters at various restaurants and stores around Nashville and helping with merchandise and tickets at artists’ concerts. I never thought I would get to explore Nashville or go to concerts for work. Yet, OM made that possible for me.

Now, I’m leaving OM with a new appreciation for the processes that unite an artist with their audience. Fans may never find their favorite songs without people like Erin, Grace, Maddy, and Mackenzie. It is an important job, and I am happy to have been a part of it!

This is only the beginning. As I wrap up my second semester at Olivia Management, I couldn’t be more grateful to the women here who have made my experience truly unlike any other. The past week as my last semester of college is coming to a close, I find myself questioning if I made the most out of my four years in college and if I feel prepared to begin my career in the music industry. If this question was asked this time last year, my answer would be completely different.

When I applied to Olivia Management this time last year after hearing such amazing things from past clients and interns, I knew immediately that Olivia was the place for me to take my next step towards a career in the music industry, and that these were the people I wanted to learn from in my last year of college. Joining the team in August of 2022, I came in timid and shy, but I knew I had no choice but to put my best foot forward. Erin, Merk, Maddy, and Grace did not hesitate to make me feel welcomed and apart of the team within my first week here. They took a leap of trust and ensured that I was given all the necessary tools to contribute to their culture and commitment to excellence, honesty, integrity, and genuine connection. Never would I have imagined I would be sitting here a year later writing my intern wrap up with a great realm of knowledge, and a web of genuine connections that I know I can lean on for years to come.

So again, this is not a goodbye, and Olivia Management will definitely be seeing more of me in the future as this is only the beginning. I will certainly miss coming in everyday and surrounding myself with women who are changing the music industry for the better, and constantly keeping me on my toes when it comes to the quick jokes, harmonizing to our favorite artists, booking shows, and hyping each other up when we do something great.

All my love to Erin, Merk, Grace, & Maddy.


Intern Wrap-Up Blogs: Brandon Gorman

And that’s a wrap on my time at Olivia Management.

This room with its 4 desks, mini fridge, twill sofa, and countless reminders of Harry Styles’ existence, has been a place of comfort these past few months. I came here a bottle of nerves, with worries that my lack of experience, personality, and age would finally show that I don’t have the capacity to work in this industry. But from the moment I walked through the door, my fears became a thing of unnecessarily laughable anxiety, that I can look back on now fondly while writing this.

My Tuesdays and Thursdays were filled with work for some extremely talented artists. It was this work that I and the rest of the staff did, that shows to build an artist you need a strong team behind them and that’s what OM is, a strong team.

From top to bottom, from Erin to interns, it is a unit that puts quality over everything, making sure the details are right. If you meet Erin you will understand why this is so instilled in the cast at OM. She is a self-starter, who knows that every facet of an artist’s career matters. Blend this with countless years of knowledge and experience, and she has created a business that gives people like me an opportunity to get their foot in the door.

I could write for hours on my experience here and on the moments that I will miss, but I feel those are better left for me to reminisce on.

So, thank you OM for helping give me confidence that I can be in this industry. Thank you for teaching me to focus on the details and that the little things matter. Thank you for the open arms and making me feel at home

Erin, Merk, Grace, Maddy, and my intern buddy Jacob, good luck with everything in the future and hopefully this is just a see you later.

ZG Smith EP Release Show

The son of a shipwreck diver and underwater archaeologist father, ZG Smith has grown up around the unknown and like his father before him he is about to traverse the unknown with the release of his forthcoming EP ‘Nighttime Animal’.

Due to the mass shutdown of the pandemic, Smith found himself falling back in love with music again. Spending his days hand laying over 1200 bricks to build a patio in his backyard, it gave him opportunity to dive back in to listening to music for enjoyment. These songs, from North African desert blues to EDM all the way ‘90s hip hop, informed the 6 songs that make up the ‘Nighttime Animal’ EP.

In celebration of this release on 23rd February, ZG Smith will be taking the stage at The East Room with support from Julia Cannon and Kiely Connell. We will see Smith play his EP in full, in what will be a night of high intensity and celebration for everyone involved. Get your tickets here.

Listen below for the latest single from the ‘Nighttime Animal’ EP.

The Sewing Club's Newest Single, "Cool Girl" Has Arrived

by Maddie Humble

Are you tired of trying to be a cool girl?

The Sewing Club, a five-piece band on the rise made up of Hannah McElroy (lead singer/writer), Stephen Meaux (electric guitar), Will Harris (bass guitar), Justin McKinney (electric guitar) and Zach McCoy (drums) have just released their newest single and it is bedroom rock gold. If you are craving the nostalgic feeling of listening to 90’s rock along with a modern sparkly pop spin, this is the band for you.

The Sewing Club’s latest single, “Cool Girl” transports the listener to a time where maybe they have not felt so “cool.” McElroy uses her gentle yet gritty vocals to describe a time where she felt like she was trying too hard to impress another person but getting nothing in return. The lyrics are so fantastic because this is something most people can relate to. Meaux’s guitar and Harris’ bass skills add another level of grittiness that gives a 90’s ambience and edge while McCoy’s beat on the drums is infectious. It’s the perfect angsty tune to jam out to in your car or in an underground club.

However, if you want to hear this song live, then you’re in some luck! Not only has The Sewing Club taken Nashville by storm, but they are about to take the whole U.S. by storm as a special guest on the Arlie’s Angels U.S. tour with Arlie!

Here are the tour dates to catch The Sewing Club in your neck of the woods:

Finally, go listen to "Cool Girl"on all streaming platforms!

Ringing in the New Year at Olivia Management

by Jacob Welsch

As we finally settle back into the office after the holidays, we at Olivia Management are not delaying when it comes to working towards the company’s resolutions for 2023. When we set goals for ourselves and as a team, we are then able to push ourselves to perform our best work for our artists and clients. With that being said, Olivia has set forth some ‘champagne goals’ and cannot wait to see all that our artists will be up to this year.

We know you’re probably asking yourself, what are these champagne goals you speak of? These goals are a few of our resolutions as a company in the new year and each time we reach one, we pop open some bubbly to celebrate. From playing at new venues and festivals, releasing new music, touring in new cities, and gaining more recognition, read below to see a few of our specific champagne goals!

Headlining the Ryman has always been a dream of ours. Most of our artists are Nashville based and have spent their entire lives seeings shows in this stunning venue in hopes of performing there one day. Olivia Records reaching a combined one million streams, a record going gold, and any of our artists reaching over a million monthly listeners are obvious goals when it comes to popping the bubbly. Lastly, after working with several Grammy-nominated artists, we believe all of our artists have what it takes to take it to the next level.

And don’t worry about missing our artists this year! Everyone is keeping busy recording and writing new music, planning releases, and touring around the states. So get your tickets to see your favorite artists before you regret it! A few of our artists starting the year off on tour include The Sewing Club, Mary Gauthier, and Derek Webb.

We hope you won’t miss us on the road this year! The Sewing Club is heading on tour with Arlie, Derek Webb is in the middle of his House Show Tour, and Mary Gauthier is soon joining the True Heart Troubadour Tour. We also have some home shows coming within the next few months so we hope you stay tuned.

Olivia Management wishes everyone a happy and healthy 2023. We hope to see you at one of our shows and hope you remember that we truly could not do any of this without you. We also hope that you not only surround yourself with good people and good music this year, but that you take the time to create a few champagne goals for yourself and celebrate all that you have accomplished.

What Excellence Means to Olivia Management

by Juils Cervizzi

“We are committed to excellence, honesty, integrity, and genuine connection.”

Here at Olivia Management, we strive to provide excellence, and nothing less, for our artists. How do we do this? Keep reading and find out!

Erin Anderson

Manager, Founder, and CEO

“With hundreds of tour dates, links, and venue names, we've learned how easy it is to make mistakes. So, we made it a rule that no emails or posts go out to fans without multiple people double checking them. Also, we try to keep the office snack box full of good snacks so we stay happy and fueled to provide excellent work!”

Mackenzie Fey

Manager, Touring & Marketing Coordinator

“When stepping into any setting where I’m representing our artists, the company, and myself, I strive to have excellence visible in words I say, emails I send, social posts I schedule, shows I attend, and beyond. This can include having someone double check a tour poster for accuracy, carving out intentional time for new marketing ideas for our artists, connecting with people who are kind through and through, thinking before speaking, etc.”

Grace Carey-Hill

Touring & Marketing Assistant

“We want to go above and beyond when supporting our artists' dreams and businesses. With applications like Artist Growth and Asana, we try to make sure that we provide as much information and attention to every area in the artists' lives. Our ideal situation is to have all of our artist’s questions and worries answered before they can even pose the question.”

Maddy Hicks

Marketing & Logistics Assistant

“I think a good example of excellence is when our artists ask us to do something and we can tell them we already did it! We stay on top of things to make sure they feel taken care of.”

New Release From ZG Smith!

By Anna Sampson

ZG Smith is the Los Angeles-born, Nashville-based son of an English professor mother and a shipwreck diver and underwater archaelogist father. For over ten years, he fronted the band Smooth Hound Smith who headlined tours in the US, Europe, and the UK and supported artists like The Chicks, Collective Soul, Trombone Shorty, Jamestown Revival, and many more. Following the release of their third album in 2019 and a month-long European tour in February 2020, the band’s eventual hiatus caused Smith to refocus towards other artistic pursuits.

“I started seeking out music again like I did when I was younger. I realized that I had been so focused on Smooth Hound Smith and had been trying to push the band forward, that I stopped listening to music just for enjoyment. Because of the pandemic, I had time, so I dug a massive hole in my backyard, leveled it off, and laid a patio of over 1,200 bricks, all by hand. It took me about a month. I would just be out there all day in the sun listening to North African desert blues, EDM, ‘90s hip hop, or bizarre, outsider folk music. A lot of that stuff really informed the music I ended up creating months later.”

ZG Smith has released his first solo single, “Let Me Back In,” just last month! Listen to it below!

Watch the official lyric video for Let Me Back In below!

With even more exciting news, ZG Smith is releasing a brand new single tonight! Stay tuned at midnight tonight to be some of the first to hear “Nighttime Animal” (Presave HERE!)

ZG Smith is also playing live shows this month, listed below:

  • Friday, November 11, 8:00pm at The East Room in Nashville, TN - Roanoke Album Release Party Featuring: ZG Smith and Purser

  • Thursday, November 17, 8:00pm at The Underdog in Nashville, TN - ZG Smith w/ Megan Elsier

  • December 1, 9:00pm at The Basement in Nashville, TN - Phillip-Michael Scales w/ ZG Smith

Fall Flicks

by Cole Bishop

Fall is now upon us bringing aesthetically pleasing colors and cool weather to us all. One of the best parts about the fall season is when it occasionally gets a little too cold and we can all sit inside missing out on nature’s beauty as we binge watch our favorite movies without an ounce of guilt. Everyone has at least one movie that really gets them in the fall spirit so I decided to ask the team at OM which movie they felt really got them in the mood for cool weather and pumpkins.

Erin

First up is our head honcho Erin. When I asked Erin the movie she felt represented the fall season she immediately answered with the 90’s classic You’ve Got Mail. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan star in this complex love story that brings Erin in the fall spirit with, “the soundtrack, Meg Ryan’s fashion choices, and New York in the fall.” Erin concluded by saying: “I love everything about it.”

Grace

Grace then added her pick saying that the 2019 version of Little Women got her in the fall spirit. Grace picked this fantastic movie because of the, “Massachusetts fall, fashion, optimal soundtrack” and finished by saying, “something about the love stories are oh so cozy to me.”

Anna

Next up is Anna. Anna added another 90’s movie to the fall roster with Hocus Pocus. This Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker film is a classic for the spooky season of fall.

Juils

Juils veered into TV with her pick being Gilmore Girls. This show set the tone for the early to mid 2000’s and is a great pick to binge in the fall months.

Cole

Without hesitation, my go-to fall movie will always be Dan In Real Life. I grew up watching and rewatching this movie with my family and it will always be my comfort movie for the fall season. This feel-good Steve Carrell movie is well-worth the watch.

At Olivia Management, we love to reflect on the things that make us happiest. This fall movie reflection was a great way for us all to take a second and dive into a little bit of nostalgia in thinking of movies that comfort us the most. We hope that you too get the chance to reflect and maybe curl up on the couch and enjoy a great piece of nostalgia of your own!
