Introduction to my plan

Hello Everyone,
My name is Jon Roniger. I am a singer/songwriter living in San Francisco. I am originally from New Orleans, LA. I've been out here for about 15 years. I spent time back in New Orleans a lot more recently in the post-Katrina world. Since Katrina I've felt a lot closer to my roots than ever before. It's amazing how, the thought that you might loose something that you may have been taking for granted, brings you closer to that thing. It's been that way for me and New Orleans.
My time in San Francisco has taken me through a ton of life's changes. I've basically grown up here. I've been in 6 bands, released 4 records and another 4 EPs. I've been kicked out of the house by girlfriends and drank away years of my 20s. Cocaine habits and a fondness of Southern Comfort left me with giant blank spots in my memory bank. I've seen close friends die at very young ages and had family members pass away from old age. You can say that it's just life happening. I'm just trying to sit back and enjoy the ride......when I can.
Most recently, I've made another CD during a time that my wife and I spent in Nashville, TN. I am extremely proud of the work we did on the new record. I am planning on releasing it in early 2008. My wife and I are expecting twins in a few weeks and I need some time to let the dust settle a bit before work begins on a new release.
Even with a new CD on the way, I find myself with an urge to write. I have new material popping up every week. I am looking for a new avenue for this surge of creativity. A goof friend of mine has suggested that I start a blog and post my new songs on my blog and make them available explicitly through downloads via the blog.
I have a nice home studio and the sound quality will be Professional. The MP3s will be "priced to sell" and there will be a new song every week. Hence the title of this blog.
Once a month I am going to put together a new Podcast via Garageband and host it on my Hi5 page. Also the catalogue will be available via my SNOCAP account on my MySpace, Website and here on this Blog.
This is my first attempt into Blogging and I'll be figuring things out as I go along. I would love to hear suggestions from anyone. I've included links to my website, MySpace page, Hi5, BeBo and Sonicbids EPK. Check 'em out and let me know what you think. I've also included a link to a video that I put together of my recent tour to Ireland and The UK.
I'll begin posting my new songs next week. Wish me luck. This is going to be a long haul. I hope you enjoy what you hear. Please send me your thoughts!

All the best,
Jon Roniger
