Wow! I didn’t realize all of the work involved in releasing an album AND I don’t know how you know all of your gear names and numbers! I have a hard time remembering my cell phone number…5 years later 😑

Hi Brian- Much of the promo stuff around releasing a record is creative and enjoyable. I especially enjoy working on this new video with John. Can't wait to share it.

No word yet on the vinyl release of _Necktie Second Deluxe_?

Hi Marty- We have not set anything in stone yet... but I can tell you that most likely it will be in the Fall... that way it won't conflict with the new record. I am going to talk to the distributor about getting the record in the hands of my Substack community in advance of the street date. Hoping they'll be agreeable to that. Stay tuned.
