Welcome! My name is Jonathan Goodman, and I am a lot of things: a husband, proud father, Disneyphile, irrationally obsessive University of Michigan alum, Heavy Metal connoisseur, Star Wars nerd, wine snob, voracious Sci-Fi and Fantasy reader, recovering attorney, executive recruiter, MBA, and Navy veteran. But despite those various characteristics, there is one part of my background above all that has defined and motivated me for over 30 years: that of a guitarist and passionate musician.

Like many others, I find so much inspiration and joy from the worlds of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars. With my musical background, I have also been particularly attuned to—and moved by—the musical elements of Disney and similarly fascinated by how those elements coalesce to create and drive the entire “Disney Experience” throughout its movies, TV shows, Parks, and attractions. Looking for a creative outlet to marry my love of music and love of Disney, I wanted to build a community of like-minded people to explore, share, learn, and discuss the positive influence of Disney music on their lives.

Please join me in building a magical, musical network that uses Disney’s songs, scores, and soundtracks to bring more happiness, energy, and inspiration into our world.
