It's been too long. I've been on hiatus from my own domain since before we left for Washington to produce the Obama White House special, and I've hardly had time to listen to any new material. I monitor all the releases, and there's a lot out there, and I'm keeping a giant list so I can go back and download all of it and concentrate on it. I am proud to say that the "score" of the White House special—all of the music over the two-hour special—was from my collection. I thought it was important to get the sound right. Earlier this week I posted the songs I'm presently stuck on—I'm happy to finally present our newest installation: a conversation with Great Lake Swimmers' Tony Dekker. He was nice enough to come by and visit us at 30 Rock, and I hope you enjoy the conversation.
