Good afternoon, friends; it's been a few weeks since yours truly posted from the beginning of this month, right? Well, I wish I was kidding about this, but outside of these beloved music operations as a whole, I've been dealing with a whole bunch of real life "challenges" that have been trying to literally drain my overall energy and motivation all over the place. Thankfully, as of the date and time of this posting, it's evidence that I still haven't forgotten about all of you faithful friends and followers of these endeavors and as long as I have a God-given life and breath, I'm still determined to keep this going in the best ways I can.
To the chase because I'm trying my best to keep this short (plus, I have to step out again to deal with other important errands outside of here very soon): I've been hard at work on the backend trying to get our final Super Nintendo music styled arrangement covers done to conclude the 2023 year. As you can see from our "Music Arrangements Progress Page", there are a total of five files that are on standby to get finalized and posted covering songs from Mario Sports Superstars, Mario Tennis Open, and Super Mario Bros. Wonder. And I'm hoping that between now and the end of this year, I can see about targeting two more songs from Mario Tennis Open before we can call it a year. Still no guarantees, but I definitely have fingers crossed that we can get this done.
This one thing is certain: the final music arrangement file postings of 2023 to share with all of you for these operations will not happen until during the course of after the upcoming "Christmas holiday weekend". We're just hoping that there won't be any more "adversarial forces" getting in our way to finish up this month (as compared to the majority of the previous month when our hosting account was under suspension due to reaching our account's monthly bandwith allotment). The other reason I said this is because I also have to deal with work obligations during this coming Tuesday after Christmas as well. But more details regarding correspondence response related to these entire music operations will be shared in a separate post later on this week before we dive into the Christmas holiday weekend itself.
Another quick reminder before it slips my mind (and because I have to start ending this now): don't forget that if you haven't taken the time to submit your online suggestion forms to me yet from this page, now is definitely the time to do so before years end. As you already know, the latter part of this year added the game installments of Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, Super Mario Party, and Super Mario Bros. Wonder for both forms; I'm still waiting to hear from many of you out there regarding if you are keeping tabs on any new song covers that get posted involving stuff from these aforementioned games and/or if you have any candidates under them which you hope will reach my planbook soon in the coming months as we get the 2024 year rolling in a few weeks from now. Just make sure to definitely follow all guidelines for both forms in question and if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to let me know your concern.
Thanks in advance to you all once again for your patience and understanding as I'm still fighting tooth and nail to get back in the music arrangement groove full force, especially during these final weeks of the 2023 year; once again, I'll let you folks know in another post down the road regarding upcoming correspondence handling during the Christmas holiday weekend to come, so stay tuned. Until then, I'm gone for now.
