i really really hope i didn't forget anyone.

and more importantly...i hope i didn't credit anyone incorrectly or spell their name wrong. that kind of stuff always happens to me.

but, i suppose i'm begging for it with a last name like bertsch, and making everyone call me renee, while referring to myself by sarah renee.

yeah. begging for it.

anyhoo...i hope i got it right.

and i hope you all like the piece as much as i do. thanks for listening.

josh.

real quick:
if you're streaming this and your 'puter can handle it, go "hi-fi"... it really makes a huge difference....

also, i'd like to thank all the Tiny Hairs, Allison Stanley, and Renee for their graciousness and seriousness.... working with you was so easy, and fun-- y'all are an engineer's dream....

i can't remember your voice sounding so good. maybe i'm disillusioned, but it just sounds so full and big now. i only had time to listen once threw, so i'll write more when i absorb again, but i definetely loved the first pass. it would've been so cool to be around when everyone was playing... i'll be back. great stuff!!!

my voice is definitely changing over the years. the recordings i made at 15 are barely recognizable as me anymore. except that my name is on the tape. but it could be a hoax! don't believe everything you read!

i like to think of this as my "patsy cline" period. late in her career (in her mid twenties) she started gaining more control over her voice - which is pretty much what's happening for me.

it also could have something to do with josh's talent with the engineering.
