A week ago, an acquaintance of mine from my highschool days, Matt Harker, was hit and killed while biking to work.  A day later, a friend contacted me and wondered if he could use the studio to produce a song in Matt's memory.  Although I didn't know Matt very well, I knew him well enough to know he was the type of person who did his best to spread as much goodwill as he could to whoever he could, as often as he could.  He left a wife and 3 young boys.

"Of course", I said.  "It would be an honor to help out with the production of anything in honor of Matt."

So, over the course of 3 days, Ryan Kirkpatrick, Scott Francis, and I went to work on producing a song that hopefully would be worthy of Matt's memory.

The song is called "The Choice", and can be listened to, or purchased, at this link.  As all proceeds from the creation of, and sale of this song is going into a trust-fund for Matt's 3 sons, I recommend purchasing the song, and sharing it, if you are so inclined.

Thanks!

In other news, SLUG magazine took some time to review Tiny Boats' debut album, which was released in February, and for some reason or another, decided to give it a "national" review, as opposed to a "local" review.  As the review had nothing but good words for the album, I'm guessing that's a good thing.

Thanks for reading, and hopefully I'll blog again before July. :)
