Letter to Erin 20160216

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Hello Precious!  Hi Pumpkin!  I'm writing this letter kind of late today.  I just got done putting doen vocal tracks.  Yeah, three days in a row, singing the same phrase over and over again.  Singing is not easy.  I mean singing WELL is not easy, I mean anybody can bark into a microphone, and besides, I hate my own voice.  It's never perfect.  And it's so hard to get comfortable, so that my discomfort doesn't reflect in my voice.  Plus it's not the same as singing live, where I can ride the acoustics and hide behind feedback.  So I do it over and over again, until I get a take that I can tolerate listening to.  Since it's so important, since it means so much to me.

I wish I could give you a trinket or something, it would be much simpler.  Don't you agree?  I can give you a pizza, if you like.  I've been making great pizza lately, praise be to Allah.  Even though I can only afford sliced cheese.  Anyway, I hope you are looking after yourself and not overworking.  Sometimes it's hard to kick old habits, and we drag them around like carrying two large garbage bags with us wherever we go.  Just chuck them in the dumpster Sweetie, and start again.  You will find it's not so difficult to do.  I think of you always.  I love you and I need you.

Please give a donation of a minimum of one US dollar or one Euro to a worthwhile charity.
