Read the true account of how "The Struggle" came to be.

In May of 2018 I received an anonymous letter that explained the reason for the included five - one hundred dollar bills. It said that God had said that I was to use this money to produce a CD. The writer suggested that maybe this would "prime the pump" so-to-speak for more public interest in my music. Looking at my calendar I calculated that I would only have only about two months to complete the project before I would have to return to my teaching position for the fall.

I immediately began to perusing through my various compositions, partial tunes, and thematic ideas to create, record, and mix sixteen instrumental songs because even though I own vocal compositions, at that time I did not have any high quality recording equipment for my voice.

I designed the cover graphic, secured the ISRC/USP codes, officially copyrighted the songs, contracted with WTS media duplication services for 300 CDs with a "budget-level" one color cover, purchased mailers and postal stamps. The generous $500 gift was quickly consumed by the project. Soon it morphed into a $1,017.22 endeavor, but my optimistic adrenaline was able to dismiss the financial strain at the time. 

I created three hundred copies of the album "The Struggle" in August of 2018. I personally gave away a couple hundred and mailed out over sixty (which added postage to the cost). I was hoping that this would generate more interest in my music. I suppose that it has had some positive effect, but nothing that would help me to recoup my investment. However, I am only a little discouraged. "The Struggle" CD shows what I can do and that may help me build some credibility with those that do not yet know me personally.

Since the album was released in August of 2018 most of my music income has been through teaching privately and playing for church services. Of course all of that income ceased when the pandemic hit and I lost all my students.

The music business is very competitive and many of those who do appear to enjoy great success have had to make sacrifices that I am not willing to make. I am going to try another angle. The Triano is a real eye-catcher so I am going to use it to draw attention to my music and hopefully sell CDs and USBs.

Here is a list of the thirty-two songs on the album:
