    Hey, Doug Perry, I don't know if you are going to read this but if you do I would like you to know that you have helped me pick a very difficult decision, im just a 14 year old boy living in portugal not knowing if he should go to music or agriculture because here you have to pick what you want to do with your life at the age of 14 and you have just clarified this for me so thank you so much for this and i will not forget how my life changed just by watching your video thank you very much good bye.

      I have a quote you may find helpful:
      "For what it's worth... it's never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing [...] I hope you live a life you're proud of, and if you're not, I hope you have the courage to start over again" - F. Scott Fitzgerald
      I realise the pressure you must be under to make all your life's big decisions now, but please feel no shame if you make new ones later. That said, if music does turn out to be your life's passion, I hope you can live doing what you love ❤

      Not a professional marimbist (more of a professional mathemagician/actuary), so...my new goal for any of my recordings is to make sure I've got a cat tank top on... (One of them is a Schrodinger's cat joke, and the other (so far) says "vaguely aware of social norms."
      As a real recommendation for video game music performances in the future, though, surely there are Undertale shirts you can get :)

    Yes! A stellar solo marimba exploration, with such a cleaver interweaving of Undertale melodies
    (How in the world do you move so quickly and accurately)

    I love this arrangement so much! I've devoted a lot of time into it and I would recommend it to any budding mallet percussionist! I would love some mallet recommendations though as I don't have a whole lot of experience choosing the proper mallets for ensembles. Thanks a bunch!
