Tom, just found this series and I am hooked. I will definitely buy one, whatever the release is – as I know it will be worth having/playing out!

After kids, birthing a record might just be the second best thing in life. I know getting the Don Froth record out earlier this year was a total blast. Even better to get to the West Coast last week and see it for sale in some great record shops. Wishing you well with this. Respect!

to expound on what i said privately, and don’t mind saying publicly… the end result of this entire process can only be good. more great music coming out of a city that doesn’t get recognized for the deep, deep musical heritage born here, and is barely noticed for the amazing music that has happened more recently (technoir crew, i’m looking at you) is a highly unfortunate.

i won’t even mention the handful of “artists” who HAVE been recognized…for all the wrong reasons.

the 412/313 connection is deep, and i hope the work you and the artists you work with take it to the next level.
