First off, major apologies for not sending anything new to talk about since January. For those that I've responded to personally, you know I talk quite often about "How busy I am" and such. Well, it's an excuse, but not an empty one I assure you. Given the fact that this past February was one of the coldest months this part of the World has seen in decades, it's been awfully hard on my personal morale, let alone any inspiration to get much home work done. be that as it may, I want to thank the people that continue to vote, review, and keep listening to my music. As you can see, I've posted some new tracks on here as promised. (Some of them will have to be redone, as I don't seem to be concentrating very well on either the output levels, or the mixdown itself. There have been a few "facepalms" after I listen to the "supposed" final mix.) And although most of you know I'm more of a "soft rock/Classical" type on writer, especially with my earlier work, I see there has been a lot of interest in my metal track "I'll Be Gone." This has prompted more people to sign on to my listening/mailing list. Oddly enough, mostly from the USA and Australia. (And a couple Kiwis, which is great, as I absolutely adore that country.... When it stays open long enough during the evening, hehe) So, once again, I ask for more feedback. Whether it's by voting (honestly) on each track you've heard, or taking time to review any and all of the songs I have posted. I have 17 reviews for "Knife in the Dark" and that's it. Kinda strange, but oh well. As always, I answer each and every personal E-mail sent to me. Whether it be from Diane in NZ whose 6 year old son listens to "Knife in the Dark" every night, or Vera in Saskatchewan who plays "The Wretched One" to her customers in her taxicab. I want to be there to take the criticisms, the suggestions, the jaw-dropping compliments, or simply just to say hi. You guys make my work both easier, and just plain worth it. Hope to hear from all of you soon, Tony Poirier Stop by for a facebook visit if you're so inclined, thanks https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tony-Poirier/409807959074727
