I'm working on some powerful new music for the album, and rewriting Awe with the new synth.

I can't really see myself giving anyone the project file, but I can export it into a bunch of file types. Do you have MSN or AIM?
I understand about not giving away the project file. There's probably a way I can just use the MP3 in my recording program...I just need to learn the method, so this will be a good chance to do so. I don't have MSN or AIM, but I'll let you know if I'd like a different file type.

Also, please don't fear to say that whatever I come up with doesn't match what you want for your project! You are, of course, under no obligation to use any of my ideas. Though this probably goes without saying, I just thought I'd say it anyway. My goal would be to write something that suits what *you* want.

I'll start by listening several more times to Theme of a Possum and see what pops into my mind. Right now I'm thinking of something to do with nightlife (which would be suitable for a possum!) and the possibilities that cities offer to someone from the country who wants more out of life than rows of cotton and corn and run-down houses. It might also be interesting to have a song that describes the reverse: the "possum" dreaming of the peace and quiet of a simpler, less complex life. Perhaps this sounds too much like "City mouse, Country mouse!" though!
