Ukulele Goals for 2025



I have been playing more music this year, in fits and starts that leave my fingerpads raw and doesn't seem to bother the neighborhood dogs overmuch.

It's a good sign when you get your own song stuck in your head, right?  There's one that pops up in my head any time I hear a particular chord progression, and then lives there for the rest of the week.  This is one of the rare songs where I made up words to someone else's melody.  Shout out to Jason Dudgeon, back in Louisville, KY.  

Little Heart - music and mixing by Jason Dudgeon, words by me.

I have compiled a list of all the songs I've written that feel "done enough", with both chorus and verse, some of them even get fancy and have a bridge.  

Maybe, maybe, maybe I will get into the mode of recording some of these and sharing them with a broader audience this year.  In the meantime, I am practicing getting over my fear of singing in front of people by singing in front of the ocean.  

I'll just leave this as a bit of a tease, and maybe come back to it with more and more links will be blue as the year wears on.  It's a sort of creative to do list + vision board combo.
Songs I've written, in no particular order:
Wabi Sabi

Dear God
Bitterness - Poison Cup
Science (and Punchlines)
