It's Finished!!!
I don’t know if you’ve heard of the RPM Challenge, but if not go to rpmchallenge.com and take a look. Basically the challenge is to write record and produce an entire record in the month of February. Well, I did it! With the help of some incredibly talented friends, there is a new twodoggarage record!
My hands are numb, my ears are sore, my body is bruised, strings are broken, heads are dented, but my soul is happy! Between work, and little league, and not getting to see my wife…it had its ups and downs for sure! But the music happened. I started writing on February 1st and gave my final mix a listen starting at 11:05 PM on Saturday the 28th. Is it perfect…what album is? What it is, is an exercise in getting out of my own way, turning off the self-censor and making the music happen. It was fun through it all, and I will probably do it again at some point. (After a nice long break!)
But for what it’s worth, I’m happy with it, I’m proud of it, and I hope you enjoy!
I should have some songs up for you to listen to and download very very soon!

Thanks you for adding me as a friend. Come visit DM Country anytime and see if you can't shake yourself loose and spread a little bit of your very talented spirit while your toes are tapping with the critters. The Two doggs from the garage are always welcome. It was great seeing you down in New Port. Take care and God bless.
