Whoa, its already time to do another year-end review?! This year seemed to go by so fast...but I did manage to release some things that I am very proud of:
CREEPY STICK - WOODEN JELLO BOOTS ep
TEST APES - THEY CAME IN PEACE ep
MAX BRODY - PLAGUEGROUND lp
MASQUERADE AS ANGELS finished more songs...and rumor has it that there may be a CD release coming up next year... slow but sure!
I was also able to contact, re-connect and create a release for one of my old favorite Seattle bands, SORE JACKSON, complete with 2 CDs, a Booklet, a DVD and a couple of Stickers! (the music is available as two free downloads HERE ...scroll to the bottom of the page... the video is available to watch, HERE)
On Facebook, I managed to drop a post every day with the theme "365 DAYS, 365 SONGS". Next year I plan to branch out to different social media platforms... but won't be doing a post every single day, lol. I will still be on Facebook...just less. So far, I have started an Instagram account and a Minds.com account...
On Halloween, PLAGUEGROUND was released. The next day I was interviewed by DJ WADE T on KSER in Everett, WA and given an opportunity to spin some of my own tunes as well as some old favorites. Thanks again, WADE!

In November I surprised myself with a burst of song writing, composing nearly an LPs worth of material in 2 weeks...which will become the basis of another solo EP or LP. At this point, I am flirting with the idea of forming an trio or something...we shall see... over the last month I picked a set of tunes, rearranged/rerecorded them as a basic 3 piece rock trio, and liked what I heard! I never EVER envisioned myself on a stage holding a guitar-like object...but I may just end up there! Gulp!!
There's a few other surprises in store for 2019 that I just want to keep under my hat for now. My focus for the time being is finishing up this LP, practicing, visualizing and meeting local musicians...
As always, the word of mouth you yourself are able to provide is the best promotion and most appreciated of all! Thanks to those that support me that way; its more helpful and appreciated than you may realize!
All the best to everyone in 2019!!
