Happy New Year 2019
December 31st, 2018 at 1:31 pm EDTHey Friend, First off, Happy New Year! What a weird week it’s been leading up to today! There were only two of us left at work all week. Everyone else took vacation (not that it’s saying much - there are only five of us in the company), so w ...
Making Connections

Don’t burn this last month of 2018... Learn a song today.
December 3rd, 2018 at 8:54 am EDTHey Friend, Hope you had a great weekend. It was pretty chill for me, although I did start building acoustic panels for my office/studio. I’m hoping they’ll help dampen noise from the rest of the house and keep sound in check when I’m trying ...
