The first song has been completed.  All I have to say is it is looking good.  Already better than the whole last musical.  Sadly, I don't want any of it shown until the whole thing is completed so you guys will just have to wait.  Sorry :/

New Collab. Group?

Does planning a road trip for the summer count as a collab. group if I work with Alex?  If it doesn't, oh well.
