Here we are, almost halfway through 2025. What's new? Yes, there has been new music and there have been a couple of new venues added to my list of places I have played; but the big new thing for me is a shift in my attitude and approach to my musical adventure. My approach over the years has been to just let things come to me and not be too pushy or put extra effort into sharing my music. After all, I figured “If You Build it….” You know the rest of that. Well, I am realizing that, if you don't tell them what you've built and where it is, you end up in the middle of nowhere with a limited audience. For the remainder of 2025 it will be my mission to push harder in getting my music out to a larger audience. I have extended my relationship with Nik Pizzigoni and his Whiskey and Cigarettes Country Music Radio Show out of Milan, Italy but syndicated all over the world. I have just begun a new relationship with a Social Media Promoter to help boost views and subscribers to my You Tube page. I recently reinvented my Instagram to, hopefully, reduce the content unrelated to my music and I am making a pledge to be more active on this site and keep everyone more informed about new music and live shows.
Something that may seem counterintuitive to my plan, is that thought that I will be producing fewer new songs this year. However, in reviewing my releases over the last couple of years, it seems to me that I have been pushing quantity over quality. For that, I apologize. This year, it is my plan to review some of the older songs in an effort to scrub some of the lesser quality tunes and the re-introduce some of the songs that should have had more time dedicated to them to improve a good concept. I hope you will be patient and will let me know what you think.
