Any skill not used for a while gets a little... rusty.  Practice is the only way to fix that.

Tarby wanted to know what horns would sound like on this pending track (what's here is just a cut of the finale of it). I went to town a little bit yesterday to try to do a demo for the demo.

Balancing and stuff isn't perfect because all the things I did needs to be re-recorded anyway (imo atleast) so if you'd like to comment please just focus on the strength of ideas rather than my lack of mastering-OCD.

I don't really have an awesome Tarby story like most people do, but I still have one.

Tarby is one of the most open, friendly, and awesome song writers in the community. Very easy to talk to and willing to help when asked advice.

First time I talked to him, I was asking for tabs for Ballad of Autumn Dreams, as it was the first song I had heard by him. At this point, I had disliked anything related to Cupcakes and refused to listen to Something Broke. But nonetheless, he gave me chords for the song. I was nervous about even messaging him, but I never expected to become friends with him as I have.

I remember sometime later (I think a couple months) asking him if he had chords for Nightmare Night (which, I was referring to Glaze's Nightmare Nite) and ended up getting the track his Nightmare Night. I gradually started to look into his music and eventually fell in love with Something Broke and everything related to it (aside from the actual story Cupcakes). Since then, we've talked and talked, and I think our first real good interaction was when he was looking for songs for his Unplugged item. I randomly tossed in the phrase 'Uncooked", referring to Baconmane.

After that, I gradually began to talk to him more and more. Sometimes about music, sometimes about other stuff. I've since became someone who he asks for opinions from on music he's releasing. When that happened, I was shocked. Even moreso that he considered me a friend enough to trust me with that information.

I'll never forget how while at Las Pegasus during the Brony Musician's Panel, he called me out when someone asked who musicians sent unreleased stuff to for opinions. That was the highlight of the convention for me. I was grinning for a while when that happened.
