You are a Barbarian, the strength of the north and
the lingering protectors of simplier times...and you eat rogues for breakfast.

I don't think anyone had a doubt in their mind.
It happens every two or three months. Me, or people close to me, experience vast tragedy. And when it rains it pours, and then the dog is destroying things, and the phone won't stop ringing, and people are getting shot at, and we're moving.
Anyhow...
My academic career resumes tomorrow. 18 hours.
I've decided to lend my artistic services to one, nick strotz, whom i find to be a singularly driven individual. In light of his departure from familiarity and economic security, his attitude and demeanor are surprisingly upbeat. As a songwriter, he excels in making his music accessible and poppy, which is fine, it still sounds great, and blended with artistic timbres like mine and Hadyn's, it sounds even better. The other thing that attracts me is his motivation and direction. He's doing two things right now, and maybe at the most, by next week, three. This (his music), That (work, bare min., eating and rent only reqs.), and the other (God). I don't sense any ADD or distraction from those items.
Whereas Will, the Jennifer Lopez that wishes she were Elvis Costello, is "do-everything" & "do-everybody." Nobody wants in on that. Even so, the compositions lack soul, and I want to feel cues, not trip over them. He just doesn't have the chops or charisma to lead/direct a super sextet. It should happen later in his life when he's gotten some acclaim at other music. His God with a Gun stuff is definitely more accessible and he would do well to play that out while working on his chops. He had expressed some concerns to me about it last semester, but I didn't say any of this. I probably didn't realize any of it at the time.
