Well, I hope you’re enjoying the Cat Bear’s music commentary. I’d like to thank you all for listening. You gave the Cat Bear a wonderful 2021. It hasn’t been easy making the music, sounds, and voices and vocals for the podcast. Then writing down everything I say on top of that. Podcasting can be a lot of work depending on what you do.

When I first starting podcasting, I had no idea how I was going to talk about music without music. I had to figure out how to beat and bang on the drums pads. I had a tough time trying to get the drums to record what I played. It’s easy to just play the loops, but sometimes you might want a special beat or sound.

So if you’re thinking about you’re own show, and if you want to talk about music, you might be surprised at what you come up with. It might turn out to be alright. Podcasting can make a creator out of you.

You’re listening to the Cat Bear. I’m you’re host, Gail Nobles. I’ll be back again soon with more music commentary. Goodbye now.
