There's a few things I might write.

One would be...

More of a technical book, like an educational book that's a kind of a music theory thing, like tied to Strong Songs.

I will write this at some point, basically the Strong Songs music theory companion, where at this point I've made 170 something episodes of that show.

and I've covered like every like foundational music theory topic multiple times.

So if I were to make a music theory book that was kind of explaining all, you know, music theory, just one-on-one, but then to tie it to the show in a way that I could like reference each episode, you know, while the circle of fourths, you know, goodbye, yellow brick road has like the circle of fourths is in that.

So I think that would be a really fun book to write.

That's like, I don't, there would be some, I'd talk to some people for that probably, but it wouldn't be,

Like that kind of book book, it would be more of like a theory textbook that accompanies my podcast.

But I would love to write a book that is just about music.

I think maybe I could imagine starting with something kind of broader that covers a lot of different aspects of music and understanding and appreciating it.

and then just talk to all my favorite musicians and producers and people and get them all in the book.

But then again, I know that it helps to have a specific angle.

So, you know, picking just like an album or an artist or something to write a kind of definitive account about, and there are so many people that I admire that haven't had that book written about them.

Man, I'm working on an episode right now about Kind of Blue, the Miles Davis album, and I'm reading Ashley Kahn's book.

Ashley Kahn is a well-known...

jazz historian he wrote a book it's just like kind of blue the making of the miles davis masterpiece and he went and just talked to everyone who is still alive it's an amazing book i'm like dude this is so cool like just reading this very detailed account this really well reported account of the making of this famous album and i'm like man there could be a book like this about so many different albums and that would be pretty fun i don't think that's where i'll start but i could see myself writing a book like that one day

No, I did just read an oral history of like this horrible company retreat gone wrong in Honduras.

Kirk, is it your turn?
