Why, Yes! I Made Another Album… RPM Challenge 2022
Once again I find myself just a week away a couple of days away from the start of this year’s RPM Challenge and realised I should write a post about recording last year’s album.

Keen readers will know that I take part in the annual RPM Challenge to record an album of original material during the month of February. Last year I took part again, in what was probably my most ambitious approach to the challenge. Late in 2016, I read that 2017 would be the 50th anniversary of […]

So yes, I recorded and released an album for the RPM Challenge again this year, my third in a row. To recap, the RPM Challenge is to write and record an album of original material all within the month of February.
