    Merry Christmas. Unfortunately, I feel super under the weather, and I’m not sure of the quality of anything I’m writing.

    I am so very grateful for all of you. I hope in the year ahead, this can be more than a deals forum, but a place where we can have deeper discussions — or even light-hearted discussions — about what music means to us, about the music that inspires us, about the role of music in our lives and our musical journeys.

    I really haven’t considered myself a musician since 1999 when I had the injury that resulted in lifelong tendinitis. The pandemic and the encouragement of a friend, our own Greg Schlaepfer — and later Thorsten (he goes by Thor here) — gave me the push I needed to decide I would attempt to take up music as a hobby, even though I could never play like I once could. And I found the nerve to share what I made when I knew it wasn’t great, but it represented what I could do. And when I found encouraging people over at Cakewalk’s music sharing community, it made me think about the importance of people encouraging one another when it came to music.

    I have plans for making this place more encouraging to get others to take that first step and share a little of what they make during the year ahead. And to find ways to get us talking more about the thing that we all love so much, music, and making music.

    I wish those who celebrate Christmas a Merry Christmas and I wish the best to everyone, whatever you celebrate this time of year. Thanks for being here.
