about

This is the first studio album release, and the 16th album. Each song is a different rendition of existing material except for "Shade of Blue" and "This Afternoon" which were written for this project respectively. Everything appears elsewhere, and you should give yourself a pat on the back if you can pick out from where.

Special thanks goes out to everyone who dug it enough for me to wanna do it better the second time. And to Kayly, and to my Dad, because I probably wouldn't still be here if it weren't for them.
