If you have been wondering what I have been up to lately (other than spending time with friends and family for the holidays), I have been working on recording songs for my new CD that will be released here in a couple of months. Currently 6 of the songs for the CD are complete and can be heard on my website under the music tab. If you have time, please take a moment to listen to them and send me an e-mail to let me know what you think. Once the CD is released I will be hitting the road to promote it. I will also be taking the CD to several radio stations in Tennessee and Kentucky and possibly a few other surrounding states to try to get some air play for a few of the songs. WXBC 104.3 FM in Hardinsburg, KY has agreed to play the CD on the air soon. If you happen to hear any songs you like, please call in to the radio station and request the songs again. Please let me know if and when you hear them. It’s you (my fans) that can get the ball rolling! I have received many compliments already in regards to the songs that are complete. I really do appreciate all of your support and hope you will continue to check back on my website for updates as to when the CD will be released and ready for purchase.

Went to a ‘Writers In The Round’ Songwriters Night at the Bluebird Cafe and saw Ty Herndon, Joanna Cotten (writer of ‘I Need You’ and ‘Some People’ for LeAnn Rimes), Dennis Matkosky (writer of ‘Maniac’ from the movie ‘Flashdance’ and Keith Urban’s ‘You’ll Think Of Me’ and Greg Barnhill (writer of Trisha Yearwood’s big hit ‘Walkaway Joe’). Ty sang several of his hits from the mid 90’s. It was a surprise to us to find out that Ty had invited a special guest to sing a few songs for everyone. After a few rounds from the others, Lee Roy Parnell joined in and worked his magic on the slide guitar. We had the pleasure of meeting all of the writers that night. Belinda was able to get her picture taken with Ty… and I got an autograph from Mr. Parnell. If you are ever in Nashville it would be worth your time to check out the Bluebird. A lot of artists got their start there including Garth Brooks and Faith Hill who had big showcases there. It only holds a little over 70 people but there is a lot of history there and a really great place to check out if you are in town.
