I was considering deleting this blog, but when scrolling and reading through my posts I felt nostalgic and thought “hello no!”. I put quite some time and effort into this blog and although I have a only very...

Bobby Bare Jr. is looking for “creative consultants” for his new album. Donate money and be mentioned by name. You’ll be send 7-8 demo songs and can give feedback and make suggestions. I got the limited vinyl (there are various packages).

I arrived at the POD Hotel relatively late (around 10pm) and so we did not do too much. My friend was already here and so I just...
