Commentary:

Well, what a fantastic week it was here at Chez NuVoid, with two full days in a row in the studio with my good friend (and extraordinary drummer), Sam Byrd.

We recorded over 220 minutes of music, including some epic, half-hour-plus jams. I am both exhausted and exhilarated!

Happy New Year!!!
