Nova Scotia musicians are using their craft in novel ways to entertain, build community and send love at a time when self-isolation and physical distancing is the new normal. A local artist records themselves performing the song, along with a personalized message from the requester to the recipient. Longtime friends Carla Bezanson and Kirsten Wells came up with the idea in late March. The women take requests through social media and by email, and then post the requested song in a group chat with the pool of musicians, which has since grown to about 50 artists. 'My mind is blown by the response'Hundreds of videos of musicians performing original and cover songs, children singing or families dancing have been posted, prompting lively discussions in the comments.
