Hello all, Here's another newsletter for all you Numberonemusic subscribers, and it's meaty. Welcome to the grapevine for those who you who've joined since the last letter. Your first message is a great one. Guitar parts for the fifth song of the album are almost done, and bass will soon follow. As the heat wave has died down, I don't get as tired, as quickly. Concentration is longer and more intense because of that. Progress speed should pick up... Also, I've done some work on the official Phobous website at www.phobous408.wix.com/phobous All the song lyrics are being merged to a single page per album. Most importantly, I now have a mailing list page. Yes, I'm quite aware this numberonemusic site has its own mailing list option, but I also like to email my listeners directly. I have tried that from my gmail page, and ALOT of message have come back as failed deliveries to deleted accounts. I'm not sure what's up with those addresses, but my last direct email had over 200 bounce backs, and that's not including the 106 inactive/deleted addresses from the newsletter before that. I know you get these numbermusic emails, as some of you have responded (many that to those who do). As such, visit the official Phobous website link above and try getting on my mailing list directly from the site. I understand the forum may not be working. That's also on my to-do list. Rest assured, you'll know when it's running, or replaced with a more functional variety. Enjoy what's left of your summer, if you've not started school already. It seems, at least here in NorCal, that school starts back a little earlier each year. Best regards, Donald Schieck, founder of Phobous
