Hi guys and gals I'd like to apologise for my lack of posting these last 3 months or so, but I had a major upheaval in my private life ( wife of almost 23yrs decided she was gay), I kind of lost my musical mojo for a good while. I'm now ready to get back into the studio and I have a few ready to put through the box.....I must warn you though these will most likely be hurting songs, so apologies upfront.

Best

Pete

No need to apologize Pete. Music is a great healer.


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Go for it, Pete. No apologies necessary. Everything is grist for the music mill. It's all part of the healing music provides.

Hi, Pete.

Sorry you've had a tough time. Welcome back.

I first read this as "I will be hurting songs", followed by "I will be hunting songs", which makes a bit more sense.

Still not used to these bifocals. 👓

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

No apologies needed here, Pete. This is the place where it all gets better. Seriously can't wait to hear your hurting songs turn into happy songs, man. Looking forward to your returning muse.


Enjoy whatever happens!
