December 2006 - The Visit

Well, I'm sure glad I did it, but I'm sure glad I'm done, too. Looking back, there's a whole lot I'd love to fix up, cut, develop, etc., but the point was to get the crap done, and I'm happy that all the songs are listenable and basically say what I wanted to say. I don't think anything's brilliant, but it's all good, and some moments are very good.

I'm not sure what I'll do next. As of now, I might be retired, but I don't know. If I feel like making the time, I'd like to do some very different things than what I did here. Most likely stuff with a little more rhythm, more developed layers, and stuff that's not so damned serious. Also, it'd be nice to collaborate with other musicans more. But it'd be nice not to, also. Yeah.

Anyway, I'm really glad that I had some people who stayed with me all year. It would've been sad without you, and I probably would've quit. I picked up some listeners throughout the year from a few podcasters who used my music (thank you again to my cousin Mike for that lead), so it hasn't just been my special friends, but that's mostly who it's been. I appreciate all the feedback that I got.

Thanks to everyone who helped me: Tim Ahlberg, Timothy Riordan, Archie Cocke, Karen Jadwin, Rachel Ordaz, Andreas Svensson, Derek Boczkowski, David Durian, Betsy Ko, Michelle Potter, Michael Potter, Clanky McSlappador, Jesus, Mohammad, Satan, L. Ron Hubbard, Ernest Borgnine (he gave me a really inspirational speech in a locker room), and anyone else who helped me that I'm not thinking of right now. It'll be easy for me to add you to the list if I remember later.
