Some of you may wonder why I call myself Jingleman...so I thought I’d share a 4 minute clip of some jingles I wrote and recorded from the late 70’s through the early 2000’s. The tracks were all created with live musicians along with upgraded electronic keyboards and drum machines...maybe an arranger in there as well. Anyway hope you Enjoy! Thanks, Jingleman

Wow! Great work Mitch! You are quite the talent Man! Great originality, energy, and mixes on all these clips! Love the "Beach Boys" sound in the Magic Waters clip. I know that had to be a blast working on these - Wow - sounds like you were in your element - why'd you quit?

Thanks Randy. Business changed and needed health insurance, plus moved to Florida. My brother and I had a difference of opinion as to how the business should run. Anyway...life goes on and if the opportunity comes up to write another jingle...I’m all geared up.

Mitch - totally understand that - one of the reasons I left the military band (which was "almost heaven" while it lasted). Great work! As we both know, FL is not a bad place to scoot off to.

Good stuff, there Mitch ... Our niece's husband has been in advertising for years - writing, casting, producing, he's pretty much done it all ... had a couple of spots air during Super Bowls ... but it is a high pressure life ...

Tony, your right about that. The stress of running that business for over 30 years took a toll. I remember being questioned by the Sheriff’s Office when I took that job. They were curious if running my own business would make it difficult to adjust to a stricter schedule. I told them if all I have to do is come to work...do my job...and collect a pay check, I’m in. I didn’t have that for over 30 years. That is stressful.
