it was on this day five years ago that i launched this little project of mine. i first want to thank all of you who continue to follow my musings. your feedback and support is the thing that keeps me going. it also gets as to why i started this blog in the first place. if you know me personally, or if you read my blog regularly, you will know that i have a strong passion for all things musical, and this is my way of sharing that passion in a more robust way.

on average i spend about five hours to create a post. this includes listening to the music, reading about it, and then crafting the material. as many of you know, this is not my day job, so i try to get something out when i can. so i definitely appreciate it when you provide feedback in the comments section, ‘like’ me on twitter, share my posts with others, or provide support when you see me personally.

again, my initial motivation was to share my findings from the world of music with family and friends. i have toyed over the years with the idea of getting more aggressive in my marketing, so as to reach a larger audience. but most of the time what i have found was that getting to the next level involved substantially more work and commitment, and i am just not ready for that. however, i have found that in my business the best referrals come from happy clients. so, if you like this blog, consider sharing this post with someone you might think would enjoy it as well. i will add a link below where they can go directly to the site and enter their email to sign up.

again, thank you for your support. here is to another five years. be safe out there.
