- **Ron Jackson** creates "Musora Covers On The Spot," where a band covers a song they've never heard before, live, on camera. His line about the format: it's not really about the covers, it's about watching a band work. We talk through what that pressure actually reveals, why he wants every artist to leave the session feeling like a win, and how Musora and Drumeo have built tools that make it easier for musicians to know where to start. He also gets into how the pandemic changed music education, the support Canadian arts programs give local musicians, and the streaming pressures artists everywhere are navigating. The conversation lands on something simple: music processes things words can't, and that's what keeps him building tools and formats around it.
