    @SIN_Agency: I'm much more in favour of using Facebook Ads for live events, rather than to get Facebook Likes. Why type of ad spend was your band making? Were you able to track the actual results at the venues somehow?

    Sorry for the crackly audio in today's podcast you guys.

    I'm admittedly not the world's best audio engineer and as you can tell I'm still trying to figure out how to increase the quality of the final mastering of these podcasts. It should be better tomorrow...

    @Origi-Neric / Danny C: Thanks for the feedback Danny. In fact, just yesterday I was diving into some DIY advice for how to raise the volume. It turns out that I had a setting selected on GarageBand that was auto-limiting my volume. Hopefully you'll notice a difference from here on out...

    @the good excuses: Hmm... possibly no connection then. The Thompsons I'm related to in the US were descendants from Ed (in PA, still alive) and Alec (passed). Although there's plenty of offspring, I know Edwin wouldn't have been one.
