Hey beautiful people,

I was describing my experience to Eddie Bayers yesterday after leaving our third recording studio for the day.  I said,  I think Nashville is like a Disneyland for musicians, he agreed. I got to shadow him through three sessions at three recording studios – Beaird, Omni Sound and Legands. The songs I heard recorded ran the gamut from good to excellent.

I heard some of Nashville’s best players, and writers and some real Legends like Hargus “Pig” Robbins. “Robbins’s distinct style can be heard on … Charlie Rich’s “Behind Closed Doors” and Crystal Gayle’s “Don’t It Make Your Brown Eyes Blue,” and he also played on classic hits by … Patsy Cline, George Jones, Brenda Lee, Loretta Lynn, Roger Miller, Dolly Parton, Conway Twitty, Porter Wagoner, and Tammy Wynette, among others.” Nashville Cats Interview

I also met Al Anderson -  formally of  NRBQ. He is an amazing song writer and man he had a hot new one last night. I gave it a 10 when asked.

I sat next to Debra, Porter Wagoner‘s daughter on the couch at Omni Sound. What a sweet woman. She and the session players told amazing stories of  behind the scenes antics at the Grand Ole Opery. I heard some amazing tales! Her dad was known as Mr. Grand Ole Opery and worked with Dolly Parton for years. Wow what a day.

Tonight I am headed out to hear Melody Guy at Second Avenue Live. She is a new connection for me. We’ve talked on the phone and she seems like such a cool woman. Plus I love her music!

Oh, I also started two new songs today!

Till next time, thanks for listening.
