Maybe release a “thing” when a target amount of donations are collected. Maybe put up a 30 second sample of the next “thing” and then when you’ve collected, say, $500 dollars worth of donations, you release the entire “thing”. If, after, say a month, the donations don’t reach the target, then only those who donated get an .MP3 of a song. Not sure if this would really work any better than just charging for an .MP3 download, just a wild idea.

Please tell me you play this with a 4th fret capo. I’ve been playing this for the past few days and I’ve got to say it’s more challenging than I expected. Another way of saying, man, you’re good. you make it sound easy!

The chord progression is similar to another of my all-time-favourite songs: “Sleep On” by Alison Krauss:

Could your heart ever be mine?
Your arms hold me so close to you all through the night
Your eyes gaze into mine
Sayin’ I should believe you, I always do, I don’t know why

Cause you taught me a lesson the hard way one time
Told me you loved me but then changed your mind
I never told no one how I hurt down inside until now
Sleep on…

I’m so very very very sad.

Oh, and I’m tossing cash in the kitty because I’m one of the people in MA who wanted you to come but I can’t make the show tomorrow…Boston is a little too far for me to do that late on a “school night”…

Well, to be fair, the end of summer always depresses the fuck outta me (having seasonal depression in the winter, you start to dread the changing of the seasons back to the cold months), and sad songs about the end of summer have a tendency to make me teary-eyed.

But, man… I CRIED. AT WORK. It’s a good thing my desk is positioned with my back to my co-workers. (which is also a bad thing… they can read everything on my monitor… including my goofing off @ JoCo.com)

Hm…what songs have claps in them…I’ll be thinking about that for the next couple of nights..!

Looking forward to whatever it may be. My claps are on the way via carrier midget.

Or you could do the hillariously frustrating thing of going “no song these week, I’ll put one up next week” or something evil and totally out of character.

I totally get wanting to use a cover for the final song. I’ve had plenty of those. A song, a book, a poem that is written by someone else, but that resonates with something in my soul in a way that I doubt I’ll ever be able to match.

Still, though, I’d love for the final words in this amazing project to come from you. So I’ll take this as the final song with an appendix to follow next week.

That said, I do not think that anyone, anywhere could have written a better final chapter. Monkeys and robots and zombies be damned.

Well… I guess the zombies sort of already… oh, never mind.

I am a sad, sad monkey.
