A list of songs has been written down and there are definite songs that are finished now that will be possible to capture on CD format. 12 on each. As the months of the year! So. Currently working on how to get a 3 CD compilation together to give away to family and friends.

It would be ideal to get down 48 songs, 12 songs on each CD, and give each CD a ‘Seasons of the Year’ title. I probably could. I do have that amount of songs in my lifetime. Maybe a gentle acoustic CD of early songs written and captured could be recorded without Bells and Whistles attached. Naivety is a beautiful state of affairs to have been involved in over one’s lifetime. And, with realisation and self humility, that you are still involved in. We never stop learning do we!

Not sure of how long it takes technically. What I mean is…the time process involved in producing each CD in singular fashion by burning from file to disc. Also. How do you get the songs from file to disc by burning each CD either. Is it from the main GarageBand recordings or the sent files in iPad with Highest Quality considered? But a basic CD burner is sitting there now and an intent to start experimenting is bubbling.

The current ‘swirly echoey slower vibe’ has songs to finish off and also re-record properly over the next month of June. During that time, a little bit of CD cover art work and a little booklet of lyrics (with some doodle art intermingled around the lyrics) to slip inside the CD cover somehow. When done, it will then be possible to give them out. No plastic hard cover. Just a strong ‘cardboard’ one.

There will be a limited amount (100) and will they will all be given as a gift to friends and family. I have no intention of selling them. I already know a fair few people who have been really supportive with their feedback and encouragement. So it will be really nice to give them something back. A way to say thank you.
