I am currently so preoccupied with my artwork and various other projects that it is taking so much of my time, making it challenging to write and record a new album set for late 2025 release. However, when my time permits, I have been exploring new styles and instruments to enhance my music. Despite these obstacles, I remain committed to making some time in the studio to work on this new album. What I have found is like reading a short story which is short and to the point. I have created a few short songs that I have found intriguing, that in length are about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes long. I think it is so apropos of the way the world is today with everyone having such a short span of attention that people seem to possess.

Attached below is a preview of one of these songs that will be on the new album called, “Save Me” which is 2 minutes 7 seconds long.

Please comment on what you think of this short story’s concept music.

I wrote this song at the tale end of the pandemic year in 2020. It was an instrumental piece that I did not get around to putting any vocals on it and it didn’t have a solid drum track. I was looking to send it over to my old band mate drummer from “The Lampshades”, but alas everybody was on lock down. So what are we going to do to get this drum track down? Texting back and forth with Gary the drummer, he had an idea to send him the track with the click track and he would figure it out and take it from there. A few weeks later, he sent me this Youtube video of him and his take on the drum parts for the song. I just came across it the other day and felt I had to share,
