ariaThe name of this pattern was inspired by two local Toronto bands. The song Make You Mine was first played by Goodbye Honolulu and written by their band member Jacob Switzer. Jacob now has his own band called Jay Feelbender. They played at our wedding, and it was one of the most amazing experiences of our lives. I urge you to check out Jay Feelbender on Spotify now.
