about

"It’s July 30th, 2017. It’s my golden birthday. I feel greatly happy and fortunate to be 30. There’s a lot of people that don’t make it.
Over the past three years, I have been secretly, catch-as-catch-can, recording an album in the music room of my house. In that time, I’ve actually captured a ton of my life. My marriage, house, daughter, fears, excitements, a cult happening, my grandma, choirs, ancient mystery cannons, “It’s a Wonderful Life” dreams, lemonade stands, Captain Nemo, the passing of time and so on and so on.
I feel the need to put this thing out now. 30 songs, on my 30th birthday, on July 30th. Numbers are important. I’m calling it Idiot Boy because it seems right. That’s me. It started off as 57 songs, but I trimmed it down. Its 75 minutes long, which may be a problem for some. It’s not perfect, but I’m OK with that. Just download it and drive somewhere far.
Thanks so much!
Love,
H.D. Harmsen, "Idiot Boy"
