Goal for 2006

For much of 2005, I had a statement at the top of my blog that said, Goals for 2005: Build and use a peer review network for my songwriting. I would say I've fulfilled the intent of that goal by bringing my music to Date with a Tape, Song Assessment Service, and GarageBand.com.

I have a new goal for 2006: To raise the bar for my music artistically and as a business.

Raising the bar artistically means I will reintroduce vocals to my music in a way that their quality is significantly improved compared to the way it was in the first song I submitted to GarageBand.com, Yesterday Seems So Far Away.

Raising the bar as a business means I will find creative ways to market my songs like The Great Escape. I am particularly interested in finding a film producer who will use it for a soundtrack. I feel encouraged to do so by some of the reviews I've received.

I plan for my next recording project to be Painted Smiles, a song I wrote and recorded several years ago. I revised this song last January, so I'd like to record a new version from the ground up.

The journey continues!
