I’ve been doing this music thing for a long time so I don’t get a lot of “firsts” at this point but… for the first time, my drumming is on vinyl. For those who know how much of a vinly enthusiest I am… it’s a pretty big deal. Thanks Josie Pace, Ken Roberts, Negative Gain, and all involved. One of the most challenging records I’ve ever been involved in making but it was certainly worth the effort.
