So today I was scheduled to be in the studio all day long (well from noon to 8 pm, pretty much all of the real day for me. After that the night begins). I’m at the point now with my album that all we really have left before mixing are the vocal tracks: lead and backups. I’ve sung all of the lead vocals for all of the songs, but after editing them all, I’ve just been really unhappy with them. I got sick about a month ago and it’s just kicking my butt still. I’m not sick anymore, but now I’m coughing, and having to deal with an unpleasant coat of muck on my vocal chords. It does not make it easier to sing. It makes it harder to sing.

So, instead of being in the studio and finishing the album, I am instead sitting in my office working my real job (I know, I really shouldn’t be complaining). It’s just frustrating more than anything, cause I want the album to be done. And I want to have the CD ready for the CD release show in June. You know, deadlines.

Anyway, I should probably mention that I am starting a new project dealing with term life insurance products for the various life insurance companies we represent. It should be fun. And if you haven’t already, be sure to check out our website for the best life insurance quotes available today. If you haven’t checked rates recently, you could be missing out. The prices are at an all time low.

Well, here I am.  In case you don’t know me, my name is Jon Pinney.  I am an aspiring singer-songwriter.  My day job, however, is a little different.  My current work includes search engine optimization for a life insurance website.  If you’re here reading this right now, you can probably guess that that website is Wholesale Insurance (www.wholesaleinsurance.net).  While this is my day job, it is not my life’s aspiration to make it as a life insurance agent (however, if the music doesn’t work out, then maybe that’s where I’ll turn).  Instead, my goal is to be a popstar.  I want to be a singer.  I want to write and sing music that people will want to listen to.  From here on out, you’ll be able to live through my heartaches and frustrations, triumphs and trials.  You’ll be able to go along with my on my journey to the top.  Hope I enjoy the ride!

I was recently discussing term life insurance with a friend.  He had mentioned to me that he just purchased a universal life insurance policy.  I thought that was interesting and asked him why.  He said that he didn’t really need life insurance (doesn’t have a family, kids, or too much debt), but that he wanted to use the life insurance policy as an investing vehicle.  Many people may not know, but there are certain life insurance policies where you can borrow against the money or cash value within the policy.  It’s all very interesting.  If you have questions about this type of policy and whether or not it would be a good thing for you, give the folks at Wholesale Insurance a call.  They’re very good at answering questions and steering people towards the most appropriate type of life insurance for each situation.
