  Not at all sorry I sent you down an Internet rabbit hole about the game Napoleon. What are friends for? BTY, did you know there was also a Japanese game of Nap?

  Hey, thanks so much for the comments on "Curmudgeon's Farewell"!

  I hope you enjoy the series, if you end up reading it. I am a few books in currently. Thanks for the wonderful comment!

  With regard to the percussion in Strong Coffee.... can I pretend it was absolutely intentional, and genuinely a meticulously captured sound of a coffee scoop? And since you had the imagination to hear it in there, I'll give you the performance credit for playing the 'Coffee Scoop' when it's released as a single. Which it undoubtedly should be.

  Thanks for the listen and comments on 'Tired of the Blues'! Yes, I placed the two (identical parts) acoustic guitars at about a 60% pan to each side, with the reverbs for each panned the other side, glad to hear it works!

  Thanks for the comment on Etude 16, Mary. By the way, have you come up with anything you like for Paradise Lost? There were a few more people (two of whom not on FAWM) who liked the lyrics and the instrumental and wanted to give it a shot, but gave up similarly to me.
  (It's fine if it stays an instrumental too, I don't intend any pressure with the question, just curious if anything's come up.)

  Re: Paradise Lost
  I tried two melodies with those vocals, but neither felt right, so I'm open to whatever you've got. :)

  By the way I decided to record a demo. If you want to hear an old guy rap, it's there.

  Thanks for taking the time to read my lyrics only song. I have to admit that I had to look up both anapest and dactyl. I am an engineer. I have no idea what I’m doing from a technical standpoint! So thanks for turning me on to some new words!
  
  I will be back to have a listen when I’m listening on just my phone speaker.

  Thanks for the listen and comment on 'Something Wicked'! You are the first person to note the familiar intro notes!
