Welcome (back), everyone!
I just want to say thank you to everyone that’s been listening. People that get to do what they love usually say something like, “This is my passion. I would do this even if I wasn’t getting paid.” Well, I’m not getting paid to do this, but the sentiment is there. I love doing this, and do it first-and-foremost for myself. But the encouragement and support I’ve been getting over the last few months have made it SSOOOOOOOO much easier to make these mixes happen! So for that, I want to thank everyone for their kind words and open ears.

A quick note: A few people have been asking me where If at First v.1 is, and the short answer is that it’s somewhere, but it’s not really part of the monthly series. The first If at First was a mix I did about two years ago, and even though the track selection was great (I thought), the mixing was not nearly as good as I would have liked it to be.  Now that I started to mix again, I wanted to keep the name, so I have turned it into a monthly series.
So for organization’s sake, and to get the number to line up with the months, since this is a monthly mix, March is v.3b and April will be v.4 the previous 2 mixes have been renumbered so March is now v.3.

This month was A LOT of fun for me to do. I tried a few new things, and feel like I pushed myself a lot… especially in the first half of this set. I learned a lot from this set, and I know that by practicing with music like this my technique is going to get better. This mix sounds very different from what I’ve been doing so far, but I really wanted to do this. Since it’s the March mix, it is part of the If at First series, but it’s subtitled “Intermission” for a reason. So here it is.
I hope you guys enjoy it.

This mix was previously v.3b.  It has been renamed for organizational purposes.
