A Musical Endeavor . Runner-Up in New Year, New Projects Challenge.
To be honest, I was a bit daunted by the idea of writing a thousand words to meet the word count required for the "New Year, New Projects" Vocal Challenge. I felt that I could describe my commitment in quite a concise paragraph, and wasn't sure how I would wax eloquent on the subject much more than that. I considered opening this piece with a long, detailed backstory about musical lessons and influences throughout my childhood...but the thought started to give me a headache, and I wouldn't wish those unwarranted details on any reader. So if you're pressed for time, or if your attention span has been fatally wounded by technology, feel free to blaze through this synopsis:

Song for a New Year. Top Story - January 2025.
A BRIEF POINT OF NOTE: I must say from the outset of this that the following is NOT an entry to either the "Soundtrack of the Year" challenge, nor the brand new "New Year, New Projects" challenge! I most unfortunately have not had time to work up a submission for the former, and have only just moments ago learned about the latter. I certainly intend to write something for the new challenge, which I find SO cool - perhaps even pertaining to the subject of this piece!
