hoping that you had a fantastic holiday season!  personally, if it matters, i still wish those that i know celebrate it a “merry christmas” or “happy chanukah”.  those that i’m just not sure of?  yes, “happy holidays” works, too.  where do i leave most of those wishes out?  when eating at a chinese restaurant over this joyous time.  but, i guess that some winter wishes would suffice in that case.

for those that don’t know, i spend most of my non-family time working from home.  my co-workers are the family black lab and my daughter’s two cats.  it’s tough, none of them even look my way when i come up with a catchy song, lyric or even hook.  what i do get, is the occasional yawn or raising of an eyelid in more of an “are you done yet?” fashion.

pets.  who gets ’em?

i was recently asked by a hip-hop producer from the washington d.c. area to be the featured artist on a new single for a pretty talented hip-hop artist he works with.  working with that track at the moment- no clue how it’ll turn out, but sure, i’m up for it.  why not?  we’ll see how it goes.  (notice how i included you there along with me?)

i’ve noticed that i’m fast becoming a mac person.  turns out, i’m a fan of fast, intuitive & pretty.  oh, and i like things that don’t seem to crash as often as others.  yes, we’re still talking about computers & alike.

i’ve sent some new material off to my good friend & producer, steve, in la for the new record.  writing every chance i get.  of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s all good.  🙂  turns out, i can write some really bad songs if i’m not paying enough attention.  the good thing is, i’ve learned from experience and can usually catch myself and either stop or turn it into a catchy music queue for film or tv placement.   again, no thanks to the family pets.

oh hey….if you click here, jango.com , you can listen to the “everything has past” ep along with tons of other of your favorite artists.   who knows, you might even find some new indie artists that you like!  sure, i’d be psyched if you’d grab (purchase) a copy of the record or download it to your isomething or other, but even if you don’t, i still want you to hear it!

so yeah, i’m good, sort of making up my resolutions as i go.  how about you?

btw- there’s still time to get your 2012 calendar before the world ends.  better hurry, though…..

now, who wants french toast?
