Sammy dreams of becoming a famous musician like his parents, but they can’t see past his lowly harmonica. He soon discovers it is the key to Orlaea-a magical land where music is literally power…and his parents’ secret connection to Orlaea that was never meant to be discovered. #DVPit #GN #DVArt #MG

Sammy dreams of being a famous musician like his parents, but they don’t approve of his instrument of choice. Feeling rejected, he stumbles onto a magical land where music holds power. There, Sammy must learn to embrace his passions and understand what family means to him. #DVPit #GN #MG #BVM #F

If you are eager to have PRIVATE custom feeds and/or List functionality added to Bluesky, please reshare? Not sure if any third-party Bluesky developers can help. I know that public Lists are coming soon to Bluesky but private Lists are further away. Why PRIVATE feeds/Lists are useful... cont'd
