RPM Challenge 2010(2010)

I started this album at a little past midnight on February 1st and finished it around the 23rd. More time could have been spent tweaking and refining some of the songs, but I was ready to just be done, and I will spend the rest of the year doing that, and allowing it to inspire me for other new tunes as well. This is my fourth year doing the challenge, but the first time I actually kept songs that I felt should be thrown out and put them on the final cut of the CD that I sent.
