I'm done.

In which Brett Robin takes a porch pause with his faithful hound, to take stock.

Feb 10, 2024

One year ago I made a commitment to publish one Song-n-Delve per week to YouTube, for one entire year. As of today, I’m done! ‘Done’ as in, "I did what I set out to do," not as in, "I'm shattered and not playing anymore."

So this week, I am free of (self) obligation to offer and Song-n-delvery. I do however offer:

Gratitudes
Highlights
A picture of my dog, Ray

Ray

I’ll start with the picture of Ray because he’s right here with me on the porch as I sit in reflection on the fulfilment of my one-year commitment. Many a day he has flopped at my feet; confused, bored or content with me going about my Song-n-Delve creating.

Faithful hound.

Gratitude

My porch pausing is largely gratitudinal. My writer dashboard shows 5907 views of my published writings over the past year.

The YouTube Channel, housing the actual Song-n-Delve videos, had 2451 views.

Grateful also for 746 Spotify streams, so thanks if that’s you too!

Some of you were here at the start of this endeavour a year ago (and some of you way before that). Thank You.

Highlights

Raison D'être

The purpose of my Song-n-Delvery; naturally in sung form.

All The Way

Apt, given my completed one-year Song-n-Delve mission. In discussion with Shandra Moran on the road less travelled.

RUOK?

I wrote this for RUOK day but this song is worth listening to more than once a year.

All I want for Christmas

I know this one struck a chord with many viewers. The underlying feelings are still percolating within me as 2024 rolls along… perhaps within you too.

Stand Up

My first ever Song-n-Delve with guest - the remarkable Lisa, delving into the remarkable human body. I want to marry Lisa. Oh, wait a minute, I did!

Now What?

I really don’t know. That’s what porches are for; working out what’s next.
