I don't know what I will accomplish in this short July sprint. We have so few days and I have cataract surgery during writing and recording time. Hopefully I can get something done, but I'm not aiming at a particular number.

My best hope is to see some of my old friends here and maybe find some new ones.

Starting in May 2025, I began releasing songs to the streaming services. Since I have so many completed songs on my hard drive, I've been adhering to a release schedule of one song every two weeks.

For those who care about technical stuff, I use a UA Volt 476P interface to get sound in and out of my Studio One 7 DAW. My main microphones are both from Røde, an NT1A for vocals and an NT3 for the acoustic guitar.

My main songwriting guitar is a Stonebridge G22CR. My play-out-in-public guitar is a modified 1966 Telecaster. Most of the time when you hear bass, it will be my 1969 Fender Precision bass, purchased brand new with a $440 bank loan. When I want a different bass sound, I have a handful of virtual basses that may come into play during FAWM.

All virtual instruments are input with an Arturia KeyLab 49 Essential. It's better than my ability to play it.

Best wishes to all participants. There's music to be made!
