Great stuff! I really liked The More You Think You Know (especially the piano).

Re: 2012 - A Year of Song - Blog
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. I'll be experimenting with different stuff all year. The song for the third week was my first attempt at writing a "synth" song, so that was kind of exciting. I'll probably play around with some loop programs too, just to have the experience. And I'm also going to write songs to feature my harmonica and my new ocarina, so that should be fun.

Re: 2012 - A Year of Song - Blog
I won't top post this every single week, but I posted a very special song this week for which my friend Gracie played all of the string parts and recorded the vocal line. It came out really nice, so I thought I would share it with you! The song is called "Damascus."

Re: 2012 - A Year of Song - Blog
Another song I'd like to highlight: these two friends of mine (who are brothers) do this really cool synth music, and I asked them to record a song for me. Here is what they did with it:

Quick update about the blog:
My song "Hoopy Frood" is going to be played on the "Dr. Demento Show" tonight!
Also, I'm experimenting with seeing if I can get a song to go viral, so if you could share this song "Kittens Wearing Funny Hats" with all of your friends, that would be awesome! http://youtu.be/PUdBGriLmNQ
