Well, I didn't listen to the whole song (I got up to March) but I really liked what I did hear, esp the different moods for each month. Wonderful concept.

Thanks for taking time to listen! Keep listening for more surprises!

I've always been partial to a continuous collection of songs - I do a lot of my own music that way. So I appreciate the effort that goes into doing something that's thematically coherent. I particularly appreciate that you didn't take the easy way out, but gave each song a unique flavor and style that fit the concept.

How long did it take you do this? Please don't tell me you did it in a weekend, or you'll make me feel bad

Thanks so much for listening!

I had Valentines Day recorded and decided it would be a challenge to write a complete song cycle for every month.
I did a song roughly every two weeks throughout 2024 but assembled everything a year later to make the segues for the continuous track.

Much appreciated comments!
