I realized as I was saving today’s podcast to a file that this date one year ago marked the first entry in my Spontaneous Reflections podcast.  Nice to look back and see regular progress and variety in the 35 improvisations I posted in the first year.  Off the Path, the album collecting the best of the fall 2008, continues to be dear to my heart, but I think there are some real gems since then as well.  You might detect a bit more rock influence lately in some of my favorites such as “Dry Hot Long Ago.”

I’m almost ready to start collecting them into album #2 – watch for it, and grab the free versions off my podcast while they are still available!

Most of my song names relate to a feeling or event in my life at the time I name and save the file (how’s that for a hard deadline!) and today’s was no exception - “A Year Gone By” fit both the occasion and the tone of the piece.  Enjoy!

P.S. keep those comments coming!  Each one motivates me to share more…
