Happy New Year

Greetings music lovers,
Ok, I think it's safe. It looks like we all made it through the crazy holiday season, and the crazier state of the union. Are you feeling the economic turn around yet? Yeah, me neither. But, hey great music should be the one recession proof industry. When times are good, turn up the tunes and celebrate. When times are bad, crank up your favorite songs and drowned out the world. Cliches asides, here's looking forward to 2009. We've been keeping busy at The Sync Room with projects from Tropical Soul, Blue Light Special, Kris Ballerini and The Hagan's Family. Many thanks to the studios, bands, producers and fans who keep the central PA music biz in biz.
Under the category "that which does not kill us...". I just got back in touch with a close friend from Nashville. It seems his company not only made it through these hard economic times, but was bought by a much larger music company. Proof positive that if you keep doing what you do, and do it better than anyone else, you will make it. Congrats to Randy Hart and Aircast Productions.
In hard economic times, I've heard it said that only 3 things are really needed; 1) Food, 2) Clothing and 3) Shelter. If we were all only base creatures, without the need to feel and express ourselves, that might be true. But, we are much more. The joy, the sorrow, the trials, the triumphs, the failures, and the successes we face, need a outlet. We need a way to share them. And music is the medium. Our way to connect. Our way to make it through.

More than ever... Make a joyful noise,

Chad
