Well Enough





We thought about titling this Mutual Appreciation Society effort from arktical and avocado rabbit “Why This Will Never Work Between Us.” But since it did, in fact, work – “Well Enough” – for both of us to schedule a second collaboration, I scrapped that title and found another.

Neither of us really knew what to expect from one another, which is how most things go between two people. This passage from Hamlet puts it best: “I have heard of your paintings too, well enough; God has given you one face, and you make yourselves another.” ~ William Shakespeare.

In the end, however, we seemed to combine our musical choices smoothly and the result is before you in both continuous mix and individual tracks. Artwork is included in both zip files.
