Is this record what I think it is???

a year of progress, a year in review...

  This year I have expanded my growth tremendously. I have been able to more fully grasp what it is to put out music, to make music, and to really invest in music. Before this year, $20 was the most I'd spend on a record - maybe $50 if I'm wild. Then a great friend told me ... "IF you want the GOOD stuff; you're gonna have to pay." I began to manage money so I could invest in big money records - and that's where the fun came in! 

  I've also more fully grasped the game of being an audiophile. I keep learning and improving my recording techniques, my remastering skills and becoming more wise as to what cartridge will make my records sound the BEST. I've had the privilege to even remaster a record that was previously unreleased for a client interested in my work!

  I have also been able to fulfill my dream of joining a band. A band that plays the kind of music I like! This has led to my next major opportunity and the chance to make my dreams come true: a record release on my own Xicano Records!! 

  It has been a year full of growth and fun; I'll never forget it. I'm grateful to have learned how to be confident, how to ask questions, how to expand my collection and moreover - making connections. This course opened the door to a new chapter in my life and I'm so happy it happened this way!
