In the pursuit of excellence, We strive for perfection. I want to make a record. Just something with my name.

Realizing the bar was too far out of reach. I’ve adjusted the focus. Lowered the aim. In the pursuit of just something.

Struggling for acceptance. We’ve lowered the bar. Making a record. No longer a struggling for perfection. I’ve claimed mediocrity at its core.

Welcome my friends to the chance of a lifetime. You too can be heard. Your thoughts put on record. We strive for okayness, and develop a plan.

It’s not a One Hit Wonder. It’s a One-Take Low-Fi Live LP Brought to you by this, One-Take Low-Fi Recording Artist. All original all New just a song.

Now in the can we can do another By working towards Okayness,

Just some mediocrity at its core. The bar is now inches from the floor.

It’s not a One Hit Wonder. It’s a One-Take Low-Fi Live LP Brought to you by this, One-Take Low-Fi Recording Artist.

Trying to avoid all tripping hazards. We’ve placed the bar on the floor.

 Able to now freely move about. Recording in silence a plan now in place.

We developed a master class of acceptance. It’s not a One Hit Wonder. It’s a One-Take Low-Fi Live LP Brought to you by this, One-Take Low-Fi Recording Artist.
