Hi there! I’m glad you made it to this new version of my website. As I write this, the site itself is under construction. Please pardon the dust. After the news came down that Google was going to shut down Google Plus, I did some serious thinking about my existing Google (Blogger) blog that was […]
Update: Week of January 21, 2019
It’s cold here in Ohio, but I’m hoping things will heat up on the music front. Pond5’s curation has slowed down somewhat, so the item I described last week that I thought I might save is now in the pipeline. It’s called ‘Happy Upbeat Fun Time’ and it’s very kid and family friendly. It’s also […]
Update: Week of January 14, 2019
It’s a winter wonderland in southwest Ohio as I write today. This week finds me preparing to roll out a new batch of stock music items. Right now, I have two more rock intros, a couple of cues with an ambient soundtrack feeling, and one with a very martial (or “government shutdown”) vibe. Here’s a […]
Update: Week of January 7, 2019
I’m continuing to work on the pipeline this week, with two new podcast intro items plus variations ready to go. Rather than just submitting everything as soon as it’s ready, I think I’m going to try submitting them at two to four week intervals. Maybe monthly. That way I can promote the new stuff for […]
My Point Being: Some Kinda New Year
It’s the morning of New Year’s Eve. Tomorrow, the date changes to January 1, 2019. Sure, this is all arbitrary. We could call it August 10, or April Fools’ Day or Cinco de Mayo. It’s just another day, except that this one is loaded with our emotional baggage around the passage of time. Birthdays and […]
Update: Week of December 31, 2018
The first update I want to share with you is that I’ve decided to drop “what’s happening” from the title of my weekly updates and simply call them what they are: updates. That’s the first of several changes I’ll talk about in this post. As I mentioned previously, I’ve been saving stock music to drop […]
Dayton Triangles Championship Year: 1918
As I continue my research with the goal of writing a history of the Dayton Triangles football team, I’m struck by 1918. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Triangles’ “championship year” that saw them acclaimed by consensus as the best team in the Ohio League. But it was also a strange, and in […]
What’s Happening: Week of December 24, 2018
Tuesday in the U. S. A., we’ll celebrate Christmas. I want to wish everyone who does celebrate it a happy one. I also want to offer seasons’ greetings to those who celebrate Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or Festivus (for the rest of us). Whatever and however you choose to celebrate, even if it’s only another Tuesday, may […]
What’s Happening: Week of December 17, 2018
As I write, I have an item (“Smooth Romantic Groove”) in curation at Pond5 that’s been there for awhile, so I’m in no hurry to submit anything new there. However, I am working on music for a new stock music collection I plan to introduce at Pond5 around the beginning of 2019. The new collection […]
What’s Happening: Week of December 10, 2018
I hope everyone is getting into the Christmas mood.I’m continuing to feature Christmas-themed music on my Twitter page during the season. This week, my featured item is Festive Christmas (:15 Edit). It’s kind of a fanfare-ish thing with lots of bells and such. I also sold a license for it last week at Pond5. (Thank you, […]
What’s Happening: Week of December 3, 2018
This week, I can talk about the old, the new, and the really new. First, the new I’ve just received word that my latest item is approved and online at Pond5. It’s called ‘Positive Atmosphere’ and it features a breezy, even ambient guitar vibe. It’s available in multiple versions, all of which you can hear and link […]
