Amazon Alexa DMB Skill

Hello all! I recently published a skill for Amazon Alexa for retrieving setlists from DMB almanac. (I hope the maintainers of DMB almanac are okay with this, the app is free -- but if there are any concerns please reach out to me!)

Right now it only supports reading you a setlist from the "This Day in DMB History" section. I plan to add more features like retrieving specific setlists.

Enable the skill at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073XQDG15...his+day+in+dmb
Then simply say "Alexa ask d. m. b. almanac to give me today's d. m. b. setlist".

    The other day my wife and I were talking about If I Had It All, and she said when was the last time this song was played?

    Would be cool if Alexa could answer stuff like that.

    Awesome work OP! Look forward to see where this project goes!

    That's a good suggestion! I've coded that feature up but will need a few days to test and publish a new version.

    Nice. I just got an Echo the other day. I'll have to play with this later tonight.
