You know I feel good. :o)

Two months ago, I wanted the website to be clean, efficient, and protracted. I wanted my biography to speak with imagery I thought that a prelude should conjure. I wanted my music to be displayed as confident, established, and yet fun & inviting. I wanted my pictures to evoke an unspoken history of character. And I wanted the website to show off my pluck, my eccentricities, and my ardor.

Well... I could go on about my lateness. And I could talk about the hardships that held me back. But I'd rather just ring the bell.

Order up.

Bang-on! Like when guns go off accidentally.

Okay. So, I had to leave my previous residence with haste and had not planned the move all the way through. This led to a lot of stress, which was made worse by a surprise brush with xylene poisoning that only settled at chemical pneumonia. A few other surprise letdowns picked at my spirit like an overly-anxious crow.

Personal issues aside, I have made fantastic―truly―progress on the website and offer to Apple. It has become a wild goose chase (director, distributor, SAG, director, local contacts, etc.) to clear the talent for the rights to use an audio sample in one of my pieces of music. Really, it's fun, though. I feel so involved in an industry I'm not yet a part of; my initial infiltration is a success! The album ("2.4") is otherwise done. Everything is remastered. The artwork is done. I got my company's ISBN prefix & ISRC codes.

Next up is the music video for "Pecan Pie".

Then, it's off to the races. ...hell-yeah.
