Devastation.. And It's All My Fault

My hard drive crashed. All of the music I have written over the past two years was on it. I hadn't backed it up. I don't know why. I honestly had never thought about it. Now it is completely gone. Hundreds of new songs, pieces of songs, things I wanted to remember. Gone.

For the past two and a half years, (before I moved to LA,) I spent literally hours a day playing my piano in that front room of my house. Everything was recorded. Songs that Nathan and I had written together. The Casting Out songs when they were just tiny fragments. Songs the kids had written. It is making me sick to think about, so I have to stop. I have to stop.

Darbs, that IS devestating! How sad! You must feel so much frustration about the whole thing. Even though the music with others may be lost, my prayer is that the things that came from in you will resurface in even more brilliance.

Yeah, definitely, try to rescue the hard drive! Don't try to use it again until you can get it to someone. Any PC repair place ought to at least be able to give you advice on where to take it to recover it.

Oh,Darbs---how sad! It's like losing a part of yourself. Hopefully Peaj is on to something....maybe it can be restored!
