I’m A Songwriter As Well, Here’s A Song To Download…

“And now for something completely different…”

I’m a musician and songwriter in addition to running Internet businesses, going way back… I paid my way through college in Santa Barbara playing in bars/nightclubs on the weekends, and I made a living playing music full-time for many years.

If you’re at all curious about the other side to my Jekyll & Hyde personality (hmmm, I wonder which side is “Hyde”? I’ll have to think about that…), here’s a link to download a song I wrote http://music.timgross.com

Even when I was a working musician in Los Angeles (this is pre-Internet days), I was experimenting and testing direct response advertising in magazines and newspapers, running 2-step classified ads for products in the back of The National Enquirer, Pennysaver, etc., so when the Internet came around I was already “up to speed” in writing sales letters that worked.

It seems kind of weird, but I got (and get) the same satisfaction from writing successful sales letters and helping to make web sites more successful that I did writing songs that I liked. (While they seem completely different, they both tap in to the same creative center, I guess.)

So… That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.ï¿½
