Hey,

Where is that song that I used to always dig hearing. The one about driving passed the car accident?

Also, does this post mean that you now have a computer again? If so, are you ready to join us in our #hubskioriginalmusicclub?

Also, alas, it does NOT mean that my tech woes are at an end, though perhaps they are at a late middle. Still no computer, or rather, there is a computer that is theoretically mine, although it is several states away from me. All this is courtesy of my iphone/bluetooth keyboard setup, aka, my smallest laptop in the world" workaround, and I'll have some weary eyes and a crick in my neck to show for it, but hey, this is just plain worth it. Looking forward to joining the club when I have the tools!

My friend! Thanks for your kind words, your encouragement over the years, for sharing this with others, and, not least of all, for supporting the project by picking up a copy. It's kind of like kickstarter, only backwards ... hey, wait a minute ...

Alas, For the Almost, the tune you have mentioned, remains in limbo, along with Ebb and Flow, the tune you titled. These were the tracks stuck in such unacceptable states that I could not in good conscience include them. This was one of several reasons I delayed so long in releasing the album, as I was hoping without any good reason that I would be able to recover and finish them. I still, in fact, intend to finish them, and this will possibly even be funded by the proceeds from this very release. When I do, they shall be added to the tracklist, and every one who has purchased the record will be issued a code to re-download the album with its extra tracks. I'll probably bump the price up to $7 or $8 dollars when I do so, as well. In the meantime, I have decided to be freed of the self-sabotage of eternal delay.

Sincere thanks, my friend, both for the kind words, and for encouraging me all these years to bring this project to fruition! I don't know if I would have done so without that.
