Hi Peter

hope you are keeping well – sorry i have been a bit quiet but I decided to “re-issue” an album I did back in about 2013 – I pulled the original album in 2013 together from work I had lying around as it was all a bit of a rush – i was doing it for a Charity that helps save Rhino’s – something very dear to me – I even own a company producing Tech Stuff to catch the Poachers – whilst that has been successful, even though we have tried we still can’t find a Tech solution to catching the real criminals, the Politicians!!!!

Anyway time moves on, and I have been in conversations with another Charity, so thought I would update and reissue the old album – actually it turned into an almost complete re-record – I never did the first album properly, so it seemed like a good idea just to re-record it – everything except the vocals – and of course, as I love making work for myself, i rummaged through the old archives from around the same time, found a couple of new/old tracks, re-recorded those and added them as well! So all now properly recorded, mixed and mastered – it does sound great.

Anyway just waiting for the CD’s to be produced, then we give the lot to the Charity for them to sell to raise funds – last time raised quite a bit so I’m hoping for something similar this time.

Also I have a brand new album on the go – finished writing it now, just sorting out the lyrics then we’ll get onto finalising that – no rest for the wicked!!

this mixtape idea I think is great – it is strange in a way that you came up with this as I had been thinking recently it was probably time I did a “Greatest Hits” (he he he) sort of thing for Devine Lie – we really have a large back catalogue, and I thought it would be fun to select say 12/14 of my favorites.

Are the Mixtapes Audio only or could it be say 12/14 videos?

Anyway, keep well my friend, speak soon

There’s absolutely no reason it couldn’t be videos, too. Why not? I only picked audio, because that’s what most the musicians/songwriters in the community have available. Although, I know that Devine Lies has a lot of videos for songs and so does Reid Jamieson and CVM (what are the odds that an artist I’ve been a massive fan of for more than a decade finds this community?). If @bapu has videos, I’d definitely put those up. So, I could easily put together my favorite songs in YouTube videos collections of Devine Lie, @reidjamiesonmusic, @Bapu, and @nicblanc on the LinkedMusicians YouTube channel. Actually, once you said it, it was like — of course we need to do this! So thanks for the suggestion. Plus, I tagged a bunch of other LM community members, so now I’m on the hook to deliver! Just give me some time to get this done, but I am going to commit to it right now!

I wish you well, my friend!
