It can be disappointing when you find something you really enjoy and there’s nothing to follow it up, leaving you wanting more. Getting really into a book that ends on a cliffhanger and there’s no sequel or hooked on a movie or T.V. series and it suddenly gets canceled – ever wonder why? For musicians, the lack of a second album can be due lack of funding, bandmate tiffs, no motivation, unforeseen circumstances, or perhaps the first album was a flop. But we can still glory in that one album.
