I’m excited to announce the launch of my custom songwriting service. And I need you to know something. I might have your song stuck in my head. There’s a gnawing knot of notes waiting to be untangled, and I’m not sure if they’re gonna form your song…or that person’s over there. Yeah, you. The one with the ugly Christmas sweater…way too early I might add. “Tony!” you yell. What in the world are you talking about? I’m glad you asked…
I guess your song got stuck in my head last week.
But I shrugged it off as a slight dizzy spell brought on by a lack of coffee. Don’t get me started. No wait…DO get me started. I’ll tell you more later, but I’ll say this much right now. I recently found out my internal combustion system was running with its pedal to the metal…so to speak…and to my dismay, I found out one of the culprits was caffeine. So, cold turkey I stopped drinking coffee. Yep. Just stopped. No problem. Except for…
…a couple of nights with skull-splitting headaches at 3 in the morning. Other than that, no problem. The good news is…it’s been 3 1/2 weeks of a modified diet (we were eating organic already, but I discovered certain foods were beating me up), no caffeine, increased moving around, increased sunlight and vitamin D and a few other things. And I’m feeling and looking (hopefully) better.
OK, what does all this have to do with getting your song stuck in my head? Well, I’ve come to my senses. I realize I’m not 3 people. I’m me. And me is a singer songwriter. I spent 25 years making my living as a singer songwriter. Then, the venues got more and more depressing to me. Then some of the colleagues I worked with got very irritating to me. So, I let the singer songwriter “gig” fizzle. And I decided to take up a more “legitimate” career. Copywriting. But one thing stood firmly in my way…
MUSIC!
I can’t get the music out of my head. And I can’t get the stories that go with the music out of my head. So, I’m not gonna try anymore. I’m giving in. I’m gonna be who I believe God designed me to be. A singer songwriter. But I’m not gonna be appearing at any neighborhood bars, taverns, or other questionable establishments. No sir. I’ve figured out the best way to make use of my singer songwriter gifts God gave me and combine them with the copywriter skills I developed. And that’s where you come in. That is if YOU are an entrepreneur on the upward and onward trajectory. If your business is moving and shaking…in a good way…I’ve got some tools, in fact what I call the “tip top tools” for branding. Words and Music.
That’s all I’m gonna say on it for now. I’ve gotta get back in the studio and get some of these gnawing notes out of my head and make room for words. If it’s YOUR song that’s stuck in my head, I won’t hold it against you…especially when you buy it and take it home.
Stay tuned,
