And just as we were recording bass and guitar, a tornado was crossing a busy freeway intersection 7 miles away... no one reported hurt on this day of tornadoes in Texas (so far).

I put a lyric draft in the Lyric Marte, if anyone can make use of it, I'd be thrilled.

Did you email the song in already too? If so, I don't see it. It may have gotten swallowed by spam filtering or something. Please resend! Or if you actually haven't sent it in yet, then, never mind.lichenthroat wrote: ↑Tue Mar 22, 2022 8:39 pmWow, I'm in three days early! That doesn't happen much.

Re: Gonna give them a piece of my mind (Letter to the Editor prefight)
In, on time for once! I made a deal with myself that if I had lyrics by the end of Monday I would do a low-stress, minimal production during the first interregnum of SpinTunes. So it's straight up G&G (with spleen venting).
