Hi everyone- This is my first newsletter. Well.. I guess that’s not quite accurate because I had written one yesterday, but just as I went to send it, (of course) my browser crashed and I lost it. It was a bit frustrating. Anyway, I want to thank all of you for giving me a bit of love and good vibes. I thought I would give a little background. The song “I Know” was produced a while back. By a while back, I mean in 1998 on my antiquated 8 Track tape machine. Shortly thereafter, I lost my voice and could no longer sing. Needless to say, this had quite the dampening effect on my musical motivation and I pursued other avenues. More than a decade went by before I could figure out the problem (long story) but along about 2010, I started down the path of recovering my voice. But I was more than a decade older and had done no singing whatsoever, so my voice was quite weak. I also found my voice had changed. Not quite as high and supple but perhaps with a little more wisdom. The point of this is, that it is quite lovely to have some recognition of my rehabilitation efforts and I really don’t how to thank you enough for being there for me. It’s all been very healing and I am truly grateful. I am once again feeling motivated to create. Speaking of creating, I am in the studio recreating “I Know” because there may be an opportunity for a sync license placement. But it requires a separate instrumental track as well and I no longer have access to the original tracks with which to remix it. So I’m going to re-create it. However, it may not be as good as the original or it (who knows) might be better. So when it’s done, I will post it and would welcome your honest opinion as to whether I succeeded. I will also be producing another song simultaneously and hope to do more in the future. So that’s my first newsletter and it was fun to write it. Thanks again for all the goodness and I will keep you apprised. Love to you all, Jack
