When I say imagine this rough draft sketched on a napkin, I mean to say it is a totally unoptimized microphone setup, atrocious compression, unacceptible execution, cringeworthy performance, and rougher a rough draft than ears ought to be subjected to.

But I've finally decided on a few consistentish songs to practice each morning, and here they are, first recording. I foolishly failed to tune up or have my fingernails cut, but my hair looked nice, which obviously is the most important part.

Discerning ears will hear that I am not the technical master but the ideas are sound. As such the most efficient arrangement would be to team up with a accurate repeater who can take an idea, take it further, and perform it flawlessly. But, given the lack of obvious examples of such success, and my inability to sell ideas, I will just continue to practice it every day, in the unfortunate event that my only option will be to, as cartoon thinkers often expect, fade the superficialities of performance for which I will never be optimally suited.
