Immortalizing is tough, but rewarding

Immortalizing is tough, but rewarding work. I wrote a piece called "As One" a while back, and recorded an a cappella arrangement of it. You can find it by searching my mp3.com link over there on the left.

Anyway, over the years a few people here and there have contacted me and expressed admiration or desire to do something with my songs. A dance teacher choreographed a whole dance routine to "Vagabond Blues" for his dance class at University of Colorado and sent me a video tape. A student in southern california expressed his desire to get his school choir to sing As One - that never went anywhere. And the guy I wrote it for, Manny, had a friend that evidently just fell in love with it and asked my permission a long time to create a club/house/dance mix of it (of all things) for personal use about 3-4 years ago.

Well, he just wrote me and told me he's done and wants to mail me a copy! This should sure be interesting. The first time any of my music has been rerecorded by another artist.

Interesting how these things tend to take on a life of their own. Conceptually, I love it. Posted by Curt at October 9, 2002 02:31 AM
