2020 laughed at [all of] our plans…
Forever grateful for our kind, talented friends: 
Featuring 20 songs and 20 voices (beyond our own),
scattered throughout the country,
mixed in our [bedroom] studio,
set alongside source material,
(now-former) script excerpts,
a few NASA satellite photos,
…and some VERY humble sketches.
*(Content appropriate for all ages)*

2018: Dedication

Sarah and the Seed dives deep into the issue of family — so what better place to start than my own:

In the wake of rights acquisition, as a sort of “starting line,” I sat at my maternal grandmother’s desk and wrote notes to each of my parents.

(By parent request: I’ve also recorded as voiceover + published here!)
