Listening now, sounds fantastic. In fact, it sounds so good I feel I should give you a tiny bit of advice: forget the underdog myth! So many of our most talented young composer/band leaders like Dan Deacon, Marnie Stern, David Longstreth, etc. have abandoned that antiquated baggage and embarked on successful careers making compelling music while engaging a substantial audience.

If feeling like a ‘guerrilla fighter’ helps motivate you by all means keep it up. But it is worth considering whether or not the the energizing effects of the underdog myth are worth the barriers it produces.

Anyway, keep up the good work.
