April Requests

I chose Charles Boocock's request for Ami (Final Fantasy VIII). This is a variation of Balamb Garden that is really nice. I'll have this and previous requests (including Into the Wilderness) on my new compilation album out on April 14, 2023. Due to licensing, I can't put out some of the Suikoden tracks, Vale (Golden Sun), and Crysta (Terranigma). Those tracks will likely live just on YouTube. Thanks and have a great weekend!!

The Nameless Town (Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent)

Here's a rustic-sounding track by Yasunori Nishiki. I don't like to accept many sponsors, but when Square Enix reaches out, I gotta take it. lol I hope you enjoy it!

Mhaura (Final Fantasy XI)

Thanks to Brad Stuart for the request! 

Nicole and I came down with covid over the weekend (oof shoulda masked up for the Distant Worlds concert). We are past the peak of it thankfully. I have a few songs that I have filmed, such as this one, that I'll release until I'm back to normal. Thank you for listening and for your support. Much love!

Hikari, the Warrior (Octopath Traveler II)

I think this is the last character theme I'll do from this game. I wish I could make Partitio's theme work. lol

March Requests

Man, you all give such great song recommendations that it is so hard to pick. I chose Mhaura (Final Fantasy XI) suggested by Brad Stuart. This has been a favorite of mine over the last year and I'm itching to do it. I'm putting the finishing touches on the new compilation album that will have all past requests except Into the Wilderness (Wild Arms). That song needs a little more time to cook. haha Thanks, everyone and have a great week!

Agnea, the Dancer (Octopath Traveler II)

This one is really fun to play. It's also great practice for hinge barres. I hope the form isn't too confusing. I wanted to fit on two pages very easy viewing. Have a great weekend and thanks as always!!

Organization Update

I've rolled out the organization update which includes a bunch of improvements. I added tempo markings and revised everything to have a cleaner, more readable appearance. Everything is now in folders by game series to avoid a wall of docs. I made a spreadsheet for easier access. It includes difficulty ratings (Easy, Medium, Hard). I also did some housekeeping by changing titles for songs I had mislabeled. 

Thanks for your patience in getting this out!
