I was working on grading a driveway for my 23 acre property. No small task. I was about a week into a 4 week stint, when I got a message from someone I haven't seen 39 years. Steve Motz my business partner in a demo studio in LA messaged me over Facebook. It was the last thing I expected. My mind was blown. He said he and Debra were looking me. Debra had tracked me through LinkedIn and then used the photo to do an image search where she found the FB page. Even though

I met with my new songwriting partner Michelle Aspen today at a coffee shop to discuss a songwriting partnership. We shared much, we talked music. I felt like a met an old friend. We're working on wrapping up a song that I wrote music to her lyrics. I've never done that before.

I so appreciate the fact these organizations exist. I look forward to spending time with them, and the members. You know it's good when you're talking with fellow songwriters and musicians long after the event had ended, and we still talked in the parking for another 45 minutes. I just happen to have ca

My first networking event at HOME (Helping Our Music Evolve) 615 Main Street, Nashville, TN 37206 on 4/29/2026 was a great first step. I heard the Nashville music community was different. I believe it. From the minute I stepped through the door, I did feel at home. I felt like I was with my people. A long chain of many ongoing conversations ensued. It was great to meet and talk, get to know the many people that attended. It really exceeded my expectations and will st
