The Work Of Every Day's

If there’s one thing this quarantine is doing, little sweetheart, it’s keeping me focused on work toward completing the new album for you.

All the basic tracks are done and it’s a matter of further tracking, overdubs and finally the mix and sequence. I’d divided the tracks into three categories, sorta - the more experimental/ambient ones, the spoken word pieces I wrote for you that Sylvia voices and I will underscore and the more traditionally straightforward “pop” songs.

I’ll do work each day, usually finishing up with a rough mix of something, then either send it to Sylvia or wait because I still want to make some changes to the last thing I tracked. The other day, because the titles were all getting mixed up in her head, she asked me to read them all off to her and she made a list. There’s 26 of them just now! I figured this might be a double-album but it’s starting to look more like freaking Sandinista!

You’re already on several of them and as I get further along I know you’ll wind up being on several more - each album always being, of, for and about you. It keeps me close to your beautiful spirit, little sweetheart, to keep working forward each day. Thank you for finding me.

With all my love forever.
