I have spent the evening going through my old recordings (those that have been digitized, at least) and I was surprised to be rediscovering many of these songs. As with most creative types I try to move on and not revel on past achievements, but it has been very encouraging to go back and listen to a lot of old music that I had dismissed as “not as good” as what I wrote later on. That is not the necessarily the case. It has been an eye opening experience.

I think the biggest epiphany has been the reminder of some of the arranging & production techniques I used to use quite heavily. These are things I don’t do much, if at all, anymore. I’m trying to remember when I stopped using these techniques and why.

So, the lesson here seems to be: it’s good to remember.
