Ahh, August...

2009 has moved at the speed of light. Just a quick note to fill you in on what's up. I continue to gig steadily, & I've been writing & creating new material w/ some great writers I've been working with. I'm hooked on a new show on MTV called Making His Band about musicians that’s really cool, and I’ve been enjoying the Summer!

I'm gigging all throughout August, so please check my schedule at www.ronmusic.com for all the dates and times. Come out for some music and fun as always! I have been co-writing new songs with a really great musician named Greg Hejja. It's been really great to collaborate with someone who you can connect with. We are a couple songs in, and the chemistry is really great. So, I'm excited about the future songs we will collaborate on. If it's going well this early in the game, then the future looks bright!

So, Making His Band on MTV... Here's the scoop, it's a show where Diddy (Sean Combs) is searching for his backup band to tour his new project. The great thing about this show is that it's about musicians and music. His other Making the Band shows were filled with so much fluff and drama, that was focused on, to sell the show. This one, so far, just focuses on the music, the musicians, and a more vulnerable side of Diddy. You can see the look of fear on his face here and there as he focuses on really coming back in a big way with his music. I really appreciate the human side he shows of himself. I admire his hard work and dedication to his craft and business. It's an inspiring story for me, for a man who started at the bottom, and worked his way to the top of his game. I aspire to follow his model, and he inspires me to continue to work hard at my dreams until they are fully realized. I'm on his twitter feed, and he started a "Locked In" movement where you focus and work hard on what you do. Late last night he re-tweeted one of my tweets to him. Call me a dork, but technology is amazing. Something I wrote to him, he read and reacted to it, taking the energy to re-post it right after I posted it. So I got a response from Diddy! I was really excited! He has no clue who I am, but it was a technology based connection. Hopefully before I die, I'll get to meet Mr. Combs and work on music with him.


Real quick! Tomorrow night I'll be doing an online interview that I'm really excited about on Artist On Demand Channel on BlogTalkRadio. I'm super stoked about it, so please listen in.
