For the longest time I’ve been releasing an original song every month and sending a copy to everyone on my mailing list. Today is song no.111. 

And for the longest time I’ve had around about 100 people on my mailing list. It’s not gone up or down.

Until just recently. Recently I decided to give my dedicated mailing list a little bit extra than the one song a month. Now, every Tuesday, they get    a Tuesday Tunesday where I record a live video of a song, and write about how it came to be. And on Fridays they receive a fun little feature (it’s already gaining cult status in some eyes!) called The Iron Chicken.

And yes. You guessed it!

The numbers on my mailing list have…

…started gradually decreasing. In a drip, drip fashion.

94 now. And counting!

I’m telling you all this with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek. I’m very happy in fact that people who don’t want to continue to receive my missives are unsubscribing.

Who on earth wants obligated listeners?

But I’m proud of the work I do, and I get some fantastic feedback. And though it’s always important to pay attention to the “voting with their feet” contingent…it might be a message I need to hear…in this case I’m going to keep on keeping on.

And if you’ve kept on to the bottom of this blurb, then have a listen to this month’s recorded tune Everybody’s Favourite Alien.

If you REALLY like, then feel free to push me back up towards that magic 100 figure.
