Extra June Video - Will the Circle Be Unbroken
In April of 2013, I tried recording a cover of Will the Circle Be Unbroken. The way I was doing things back then is I sat down to record a full take of the song from start to finish.

Studio Color and an Album Vlog Vid
Hey guys!This is the color of the studio walls! I was wrong, I had mentioned previously they seemed more blueish, but no. It's purple. Hehe! It's a bit of a cooler purple than in the previous room, and I dig it. I feel it works as a nice color as a background for vids.Painting was finished t...
Update and a Melting Popsicle.
I wrote this month's Patreon letter rewards today, and all the while, I wondered what I can do to improve this experience and the pledge rewards. Musical updates will be more frequent once the studio is done in 10 days or so. But what can I do to tie this whole experience together for everyone? ...

I was in doubt whether to share this video or not. I'm not sure if it qualifies as interesting... hahaha! In the end, I decided to go ahead and post it. After all, it's part of the process, I guess, of building the new studio. I won't look over your shoulder to make sure you watch the wh...
