I&#8217;d be curious to hear some of your experiences. I&#8217;m currently traveling in that odd little land between excitement about the new recording and being misty about certain aspects of the demo.

But alas, I&#8217;m a stubborn mofo and thus filled with an odd mix of pride and regret.<\/p>\n<p><em>Is the moral &#8220;don&#8217;t make demos?&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Townsman Trolleyvox asks a fine question in today&#8217;s All-Star Jam that&#8217;s worth bringing up for full-fledged discussion.
