Hello, I will be honest, kind of ran into a wall this month.

0:29.9

I spent a tough day in the flow while finishing tour and the special. By the time

0:35.9

came to do the podcast this month, I had nothing left in the tank. When guest

0:42.5

composer, Kareem Awakers, sent me some initial pieces of score I dispared. They

0:49.5

were so beautiful and gave me ideas I couldn't adequately follow through on

flavor. Mexican, a smaller fruit with bright green skin and very aromatic flavor. Key lime,
