Final Thoughts on Ruby's Corner and Delaney Gustafson Music Moving Forward

It's so hard to say good-bye, but we're here to bring some closure to Ruby's Corner.

Review of Ruby's Corner S3 Finale

It's the FINAL REVIEW EPISODE! To wrap Season 3, Delaney and Stephen discuss the game of telephone that is arranging Christmas music, stereotypical composers, the hardest piece Stephen has ever had to play on Ruby's Corner, Midnight Mine's parallel fairytale inspiration a la us, how we need a lute and why, getting the whole band together, and MORE in our longest episode ever!

Ruby's Corner S3 & Series Finale: Midnight Mine

It's Christmas again at Ruby's Corner! For the Season Finale of Ruby’s Corner Season 3, Delaney and the gang are back together for a night of Christmas, crushes and nights so full of love, they're sacred. Including Christmas covers you've heard before as well as NEW songs by Delaney, it's the biggest concert (and longest yet!) in Ruby's Corner. Tori returns with her flute and joins Delaney's arrangement of It Came Upon a Midnight Clear to kick off the show. Then Stephen and Delaney play one more ballad-duet, Midnight Mine, followed by Delaney's solo performance of O Holy Night on the ukulele!(?) The band grows when Jackie and Stephen bring the bass and glockenspiel in You and Me, and finally the whole gang (and CHRIS!) return for the finale: Delaney's original Christmas song: Christmas Crush. This recording was made live on Facebook on December 2, 2021. Special Thanks to Tori Tigges, Alex Tigges, Lily Tigges, Shelli Gustafson, Jackie Gustafson, Chris Tucker, Natalie Tucker, Minerva Taylor and Stephen Taylor and all of you for making this episode possible!

Jackie's Reflections on Ruby's Corner!

It's like a love letter from Jackie! While circumstances prevented us from recording our conversation about Jackie's Ruby's Corner experience, Delaney is here to review it all in this intimate review of some of her thoughts and Jackie's as they discussed their performances together. Not only do we learn about Jackie's musical background with the bass (not her first instrument or her last!), but we get snippets of their childhood music lexicon, their high school choir, and more about Jackie's personal experience performing in her first post-COVID gig. There's great metaphors and even a great bass pun ahead, so let's talk about Jackie and that bass!
