I know! So hope this work sees the light of day.
Love the idea that there were 25 songs recorded for every one we've heard.

That really was a great article. I read it earlier today. I love trinkets like that, about production. It gives me new perspective on a song. Makes me listen to it differently. Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking. |

Wonderful article. I wasn't a big fan of the song Baltimore as a whole, but I always loved the exchange between the guitar and the orchestra. That he might have been working on more music with that kind of instrumentation is exciting.
However, it is also incredibly sad to hear about what he was working on and what he planned to do. 'We're going to redefine the Minneapolis sound, and I'm going to need your pen to do it. So block off some time in the summer.'" Quotes like that make me sad. He still had plans. He was still doing new things with his music and he was still enthusiastic about doing so.
Thanks for sharing jpav.

You're welcome.
This really made me listen to the song with new ears. Made me realize how much I took his amount of work for granted.
Yeah it was cool to think of what he was looking toward.
Every day I find a new reason to grive his passing.
Damn.

Super thanks. Sounds just like Prince these two songs. "Free URself, B the best that U can B, 3rd Apartment from the Sun, nothing left to fear" Prince Rogers Nelson - Forever in my Life - |

Shades of Umber is cool. But I've only heard a live version with NPG horns. I think it might be even better with the Hornheadz. Wonder who plays the guitar though. Live it's Donna. The wooh is on the one! |
