First day of a new decade, welcome 2020. Now it's time to summarize 2019 in the best possible way.
At first, I was thinking to make a decade special to look back in the mirror and see what the last 10 years have given us, well maybe, later on, music-wise the last 10 years have been really good, many great albums have been released.

It’s also the time for me to do a little retrospective of this year for me and Tune Of The Day.
We reached 491 followers on Facebook, soon 500, kinda cool but hey I wish it would be more, so hit like for god's sake. We have made a little over 4500 posts, that's a pretty much, since the start in 2007 I guess it's pretty valid. 2997078 hits on the site, cruel! Have added 2091 tunes to the Tune Of The Day playlist on Spotify, that means 161 hrs 37 min play time, haha. And yes I have been pretty lazy to update Spotify with the latest tune, will fix it soon, I promise.
2019 have been a pretty decent year work-wise, a few longer projects have been done, a bunch of concerts, festivals, travels, hotels, cars, buses, flights, trains etc.
To many to be listed here, but the photo below will tell some at-least.

| This is 2018 works, will update it as soon I come home from my sunny vacation. |
My aim for 2019 is to work less and charge more, well I guess that is wishful thinking, but that is something I would like to do. Mostly to be able to spend more time with the family that I mistreated for so long all these years with work. There are a few things that are already set for next year, something that I already am looking forward to, I will get back to that during the time.
