This challenge has motivated me to make the time to make good use of the equipment I've invested in, and to break down the blocks to writing. My musical interests are quite varied, and I've discovered how diverse in this project. These songs stretch across many styles. I took the opportunity to even pick up an accordion for one of the songs.
