about

This is my 14th collection of covers. While some of my albums are solo albums, made for the NaSoAlMo challenge on Reddit, most of my albums are collections of collaborations with other musicians while making music for the Facebook group, Theme Music, as well as Theme Music Tributes. The songs on this album date from July 2020 through August 2021. My output has slowed over the years. It normally doesn't take me a whole year to generate 20-22 songs for one of these releases, but the pandemic caused a lot of disruptions.

Because these songs were all produced during COVID times, I decided to call my album COVID for the Cure, as an homage to the Eels, Cancer for the Cure song. I was tempted to add my cover of Sloan's "Forty-Eight Portraits", but in the end, left it off. It's available on PRF Tribute album and there's a link for that album for the song "All of the Voices".
