Sorry for the lack of posts. I'm set to record another album in February. With the two albums from last year, I kind of got into a groove with the preparation. But those albums had 13 and 14 tracks. This next one is going to have 45 or 46, so I have a lot of tunes to learns and many, many to send out to musicians playing the sessions. Why so many? Well, a few years ago, I was listening to Sandinista by the Clash and it made me think that it had a tremendous amount of filler - dub remixes of previous tunes and the like. I checked to see how many tracks were on it (37) and made it a goal to write more tracks. Not only that, but more concise tracks. I know that it seems ridiculous comparing myself to the Clash. I'm just a nobody, right? I mean, I have to keep a day job in order to make albums. I realize that it's a question of quality and not quantity, but I wanted to use Sandinista as a benchmark. Nobody does double albums anymore. And why should they? Well, for me the question is why not?
In any case, here is a squirrel who was hanging out in Denny Park on New Year's Eve Day. He was pretty friendly.
