Wickedly sidetracked on a Tuesday afternoon. After a morning conference call with Joe and Tom to talk about The Saratoga Special mostly, I wound up diving and delving into the archives. In celebration of our 25th anniversary of The Special, we are toying with producing a book. A Best Of The Special collection.
Apparently, we thought about doing this for our 20th anniversary as I found a file called ‘Best of’ on the Google Drive. The selection process starts with 2001, Beautiful Pleasure, Shine Again, Point Given and the rest of the best. From there, the files meander and muse through two decades of The Special. We made it through 2019 and then obviously realized that it wasn’t happening for our 20th anniversary.
“Maybe we’ll do it for our 25th…”
And away I go. I’m halfway through 2020. Swiss Skydiver, Midnight Bisou, Tiz The Law and all the others. The Covid year. What a year.
Four more years after that and then we’ve got a working document, a far-too-big collection of our best work. From there, perhaps, we’ll hone it down to the best of the best, 400 or so pages of a quarter of a century of Saratoga.
Got any suggestions?
