Awesome Performer
I was watching a Television show and they were featuring this guy that his music was out of the this World. I really mean it. His Name is Justin Hines and this guy is a song bird. Check out his web site at http://www.justinhines.com Justin is with Orange Records who signed him when no one else would.
Next !
I was recently, down in Nashville and it was a great time. Short but good. I got to meet some up and coming artist. Like Anna Harwood. This young Lady is going to give Taylor Swift a run for her money. Great songs and great voice. And she has Bernard Porter taking care of her exposure.
While I was in Nashville, I got the chance to hang out with Brad Mates, Lead sing of Emerson Drive.
I also met a gentleman named Todd Green who is going to be on America's got Talent
and I have a feeling Todd is going to be a contender !
Met a Police Officer Named Wes who was extremely Nice and helped me out !
If you go to Nashville don't rely on the Taxi service unless you call one man and that guy is Claude Aldony who is the Great Cab driver ever. His Phone # (615)525-9830 If you go to Nashville and need Taxi service Call Claude and tell him I told you to call him. No matter what time of the day Claude will come to your aide.
Last but not least I met a young lady from Lethbridge Alberta who could really sing.
Her was Alyssa McQuaid and she is on Facebook check her out.
I will be going back to Nashville in the fall and look forward to doing so !!

In Nashville !
Having a great time in Nashville. Nice town but the Taxi services here are the worst I have seen in a long time. Other than that everything is going really good. Show Casing tonight and then headed out tomorrow morning at 7 am.
I got to hang out with Brad Mates and the other guys of Emerson Drive. Incredibly nice guys, so down to Earth you would swear they were from Alberta ! A little dig there. I checked out the "FAMOUS" places downtown like Tooties and stuff. Man Super small stages, so much so they were mini stages. But they would fit the whole band on the stage. If I ever was given a gig like that I would walk out ! Broadway Street was basically a tourist trap but lots to see. Every boot shop I went into the workers would ask me "Where you get your shoes, man !" I am so proud of my "YUMS" they get me so much attention it is funny ! I have had people in the Airport ask me where I got my shoes !
Yums Shoes

In the Music Industry there are tons of road blocks
If you are planning on doing music there are some out there who are smart enough to realize the obvious road road block, like management, agency, labels, and other band members. But there always one road block that catches most performers of guard. That road block is the unsupportive spouse/mate. The one who will sabotage what you are doing. And sometimes these events are minor and others are major ones.
Minor one are forgetting to do something for like mail a letter for a competition or bring an instrument to the performance that you forgot. Major events are ones like having a fight with you just before a major performance, hacking away at your self-confidence like telling you that you are delusional, or that you not going to make it.
There are several reasons for these cheat shot. Self preservation (if you get rich and famous you won't want me anymore), jealous of what you are doing, Competitive (You can't do something better than me) and last but not least selfishness which is probably the biggest one out there.
It is going to be hard but you have to stand up for you career, your goals , and your dreams. If the other person can't accept what you are doing now, they are not going to accept later when you are making a fortune.
I write this from personal experience and I struggle with it every day. So I try to work through it but every time it happens it gets worst. It is good to have someone on the out side who can be of support. That makes it a little more easier to cope but you have to decide for yourself which road you have to take. One of those roads might be to leave the relationship.
Some mates will never see the light or the damage they are causing through their words. They are too ignorant or too self-centered.
I hope this help
