April 7: I was chosen as a finalist in the 2025 Great American Song Contest, along with many other deserving artists. I never win anything, so I'm quite pleased. And Bad Apple is still available on Spotify and Apple Music and a whole host of other unholy places, as well as Bandcamp or my Web site. It will make you happy, I promise.
