The more I think about different ideas, I think the best one might be to include four or five older songs done acoustically as 'bonus tracks' after the set of new material on the next album.

Ha ha.
I don't really want to devote TOO much time on old songs. Some of the songs from _Sinner Is Served_ were written when I was 19 - and it shows. You look back at *anything* you did when you were that age, and some of it
seems cool, but in more likelihood, most of it seems very "of the time."
For me, when I'm recording an album, I love every song that I'm working on. When I'm done with it and listen to it, I love *most* of the songs on it. A year or two later if I listen to it, I find myself only liking a couple of songs from it. So, for me, the goal is to make an album where when you listen to it a year or two later, you like EVERYTHING on it. So, I'm still striving for that.
