Eventually, I want to finish up all these songs (below). Most are done, but much work remains. After I finish mixing down the old stuff, I’ll set to work, but this project will take at least a year to complete.
What amazes me is how many songs I’ve just lost. For example, my grandmother used to have a video tape of a performance I gave at the gazebo in Pawhuska in 87 or 88. I probably did 6-8 songs there that I never recorded. Some of the titles were Paper Houses and Conquer the World. I wrote songs for a performance I did at Owen Field. I wrote a nice song for Lori Hull’s wedding that should also be on a video tape somewhere. I performed a couple of songs at Boy’s State that are lost. More at EIC. I actually scored a few things for Kim. And so on… I remember telling people in high school that I had written about 300 songs. Most are just gone, which probably ain’t so bad considering the quality of what remains.
I guess the reason I am doing all this retrospective work is because I feel like I am ready to move on. I don’t know if that means that I am going to be doing new musical stuff or if I’ll be shifting my focus back to philosophy. I tend to go through three phases of creative output: 1. Community-Supporting (D&D, Disjunction, and the like), 2. Music-Making, and 3. Philosophizing/Theologizing. I don’t know what’s next, only that something is changing.
