The Nessaholics: "12-Step Program"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a terribly long incubation period, I will be sending out copies of this collection to whomever sent me a package and postage. If you were involved with the project, you know who you are, so expect your copy next week.

About 3 years ago, I came up with this idea of putting songs done by Nessa fans on a CD to give to her. It turned out to be much more trouble than it was worth! Anyway, it's done, people who submitted songs have their copies and amen!

What is this exactly....I was wondering? Are they covers of her songs by other people or are they something else....
Thanks
-
I left the song choice up to whomever wanted to submit a song. To avoid 70 different versions of ATM, I encouraged people to do their own thing. For the most part, they did: the only VC song performed was Superhero by Noelle, and it equals or surpasses Nessa's.

Wow. Blast from the past. Nice work dan.

Thanks, but this was something done by the fans, mostly. I'd like to say putting it together was a good experience...but it wasn't......

Why?

When I first posted it, there were dozens of responses....very few people actually sent something over the course of several months. A few of the tracks had severe audio problems that needed to be fixed in a time consuming fashion. There were personal issues that got in the way, as well. After that, every time I thought about the project, I thought, ".....grrr...I don't want to do the f@%%er", so I shelved it for awhile.
After I picked it up again, I had a few false starts with the person I had originally chosen for graphics. This wasted several months. Communication broke down entirely, and so I had to find someone else.
The first time I attempted to give it to VC, I had to settle for giving it to Mark, as I missed her by seconds....I mean seconds! So I just kinda settled for it being this "cursed" project that no one really cared about.
Last August, over THREE YEARS from the date of my original blueboard announcement, at The Bitter End, I was able to put it in her hand and explain to her that it was made by fans. Whew.
It was harder to put together than a real CD! Hands down, it was the most difficult AND least rewarding of any musical project I have ever undertaken.
