Just thinking, as this year comes to it's end and we are about to enter a new one......

What goals did you have that were accomplished or met this year?
What goals do you have for the new year?

These goals can be for anything. Musical goals, career goals, personal goals, or..... eating the 42oz gut buster meal at the local pub, whatever you have set to accomplish.

I don't set a lot of goals but I know what I want to accomplish and work to make those things happen.

Goals reached this year.

I was picked up by a new (to me) publisher who is very proactive with their writers and working in the Film & TV music business in LA. This publisher has signed a number of my songs. Some that you have heard here and quite a few that have not been posted here. I was picked up and signed by another publisher in 2023 and they have a couple of my instrumentals in their catalog.

I worked with both of my dogs to get them better at what they do. We got them both certified this year with my team in July, and then they both aced their third party certification in November.


For the new year.... I will continue to work on both of those goals to move them further down the road. Hopefully one of the two publishers will get a cut or two for me, and I will continue to write more music. My goal this coming year is to write more music and to work with the dogs.

I have a simple life.

You can find my music at:

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
