MAB Q&A

Nashville, 6 major interstates into a brick wall of reality!

I was just like MAB described, full of myself, knowledge that my songs were great, One song was all I needed, and Nashville had been waiting for me to get there.

I had one difference though, I kept an open mind for learning and when I heard the very first song at Roosters B.B.Q. July 17, 2012 by Jason Gregory I wanted to go home and tear up everything I had written.

Then as Alan and Alice played MAB ran in the door 10 minutes late, shook my hand took the stage, plugged in, tuned, announced me in the audience, and showed me, first hand, I was but a student.

I saw 4 people on stage that night out perform every band I had ever seen live. I looked at my Melissa and asked “Why don’t these people have record deals?”

That night Marc introduced us to the “New Crew”, these people we had just met felt like they had been friends for 10 years and the night ended with our new friends hugging us like we were family.

So for anyone just reading, most all of the people in Nashville are your friend if you simply have the right attitude.

For my own reasons I have not taken all the offers, however I have been invited to write with some very good writers here in town, simply because for the longest time no matter how empty the venues were, they could count on looking over the mic and seeing Mellissa and I supporting them.
