The CD That Never Was-
"A Non-Classical Style" by Rush the Growler
Back around 2008 or so, I already had a great idea for a band name- :"Rush the Growler." But at that point, all I had was the name and an idea of what I'd like to play. I made a MySpace page for the band, just so no one could take the name, and imagined what our first album might include. I designed a cover and made a list of the songs that would have appeared on it.
When the real band came together, our first real-life CD included some of the songs that were on my imagined one, but not all of them. Now that I've got some time on my hands, I thought I'd recreate what that CD would have been like-- the CD that never was, as it might have been. It's called, "A Non-Classical Style."

In Neil Gaiman's graphic novel series, The Sandman, The Library of Dream contains all the books that were dreamed but never written. If there's a music section of the library (and there must be), then up until now this CD has been stored there. Now I'm trying to check it out.
