Bill Roper's Journal

I am down in the basement today and will shortly (I hope!) get back to working on "Crosstime Bus", which I hope to have out soon. This would be good, because I have been working on this album for a very long time. Long enough, in fact, that the newest song on the album was written in 2006. The track list for this album is on the Filker website, along with the track lists for my other three studio albums and "Live in Germany (mostly...)", which is Gretchen's and my live recordings from when we were guests at DFDF. (Thanks, Smac!)

My question is this: when I am in a position to make another album after "Crosstime Bus", what ought to be on it? Let's toss out anything that is on the five studio albums (including "Crosstime Bus"). Songs that are only on "Live In Germany" are eligible. Songs written after 2006 are likely to be good choices, but maybe there is something older that I have managed to blindly skip over that should be included.

Note also that there are a bunch of individual tracks over on Bandcamp from the "Amy and Me" project which are from concerts where I've been fortunate enough to have Amy McNally accompany me and I think none of those are on a studio album, so if you want to know what some of these songs sound like, it's a good place to look.

Anyway, I have some ideas, but I would be interested to hear what you think.

Thanks for the input!

This is going to suffer from severe selection bias, but what the heck! Let's give it a try.
