Coincidences

It's been a busy few months in SJ world. I wanted to just drop by to let people know that the album post production is nearing its end AND the release date is on the horizon! It's been a nail biting process and a huge undertaking. Looking back there were a few amusing and comforting coincidences that occurred when I was recording and editing the album:

I had originally intended to start the recording process at the end of October 2012. But due to a bout of poor health I had to reschedule those first sessions to the 29th November 2012. Unbeknownst to me at the time of booking, this is the anniversary of the death of the late great Freddy Mercury! A much admired influence and inspiration to my own music. So at the time I reverently tipped my metaphorical glass to one lost but never forgotten.

After that two more coincidences occurred:

The fifth recording session had to rescheduled to 12/12/12. This is the very last date in my life time where I will see a repeating number. I'm a bit of geek about these things!

The sixth recording date was scheduled for 21st December 2012. The end of the Mayan calendar and supposed 'end' of the world. I presume this was in fact a spiritual ending not an actual apocalypse, because 5 months later I'm here typing this.

I'm chuckling at the coincidences and link-ins to this significant project in my life. Although I firmly stand by the fact that events are made by own actions and reactions, I think the unplanned significant coincidences can be attributed to what many call as 'fate'. Who knows? Best to keep an open mind.

Anyway here is the sloth invasion...
