Well, “I’m going to post again in a few days” turned into a couple months. Oops. 🙂
This record has ended up giving me opportunities I never thought I would have. For instance I never thought I would write a solo cello part for a song. MYSELF! I also never thought I’d end up writing duo clarinet and accordion parts in the studio with the talented people who played them. It never occurred to me that it was possible for guitarist Tim Young to complement MY guitar playing.
So I’ve been really humbled and honored by this whole process. The little (and some not so little) surprises end up making everything so wonderfully memorable. Things didn’t go exactly as planned, but in many cases the outcome was beyond my expectations.
