Hi Friends, Many folks have been asking why I squandered all the creative energy around the titling of my new CD. How dare you just call it "Hal Cannon?" So, Here are my three reasons for doing what I did.
1. You only get to call one CD by your plain old name once then you have to move on. 2. All my creative friends can continue making fun of me and my name forever without settling on just one way to mock me. 3. Though my parents are gone I'd sort of like to honor them for coming up with the CD title.

My friends cannot not help themselves in assisting me in naming my new CD. There just so many things you can do with Hal. Its the first syllable of a scary holiday, bad breath, or a happy and peaceful period. Then there's Cannon and the big guns of yore. A few more dribbled in since my last post. I have decided on a title now and I fear my creative friends are going to be disappointed. A hint: you can only name an album by this title once in your career.
