Historically I've been pretty bad about keeping track of the things I work on. I aim for this project to remedy that.

**Why "The Witty Banter"?**

One time I was discussing with my partner the idea of what a solo project would be named. 

I've always hated the idea of being a "solo artist", using my name or my face as the front of ANYTHING gives me the ick (yet here we are, eh?). The point was brought up, that I seem to do better when there's witty banter.

"Oh damn... What if when I played with people, the bill was 'So and So & The Witty Banter?'"

I liked that idea for a name. What started out as a music project name quickly gave way to the fact that I do more than just music. Maybe "The Witty Banter" could be the entity for whatever I was doing. "Witty Banter Tech", "Witty Banter Music", etc.

I set aside some of those "identity" reservations for this project. It was time for me to have something to present at shows, rather than a guitar case with shoddily taped QR codes linking to a poorly managed Instagram presence. 

Who knows. Maybe I'll regret putting my ideas in the aether this way, but what's a little context for your parasocial internet rambling?
