what I haven't really told anyone...

Put yourself out there. Put it on YouTube. I want my life to change, and it sounds like this song will do it.

while I appreciate the compliment, it's a ways off from being public. I don't just want it out there. I want it right. Full studio treatment, etc.

eh, it'll take a while. it's kinda like that excitement you get at the very start of a trip, and you first hit the key and the engine roars to life... exciting. but fleeting.

time to get to work

I MAY be able to get you connected to Jamey Johnson.

I've been writing for years. I had a couple of local artist cut a couple of my songs. I shopped them to every artist who played our bar, the only one to give it a real listen and give me some feedback was Casey Donahew, but alas, nothing ever came from it. I never fully learned to play guitar, so learning to play them myself never happened.

Best of luck.

Luke Bryan's new song?

Hey Forrest, we haven't talked in awhile, which is sad. Last I knew was you had bought the house, and had back problems. But now you're a father! WOW! Congrats on that ! SO glad you gave up drinking, there's no upside to that.

Songwriter - if you want to make that a hobby, I say go for it. But if you want to make a living of that - it's tough. It's hard to get recognition without years of performing - and you know what that means, years of playing in bars until 2AM, 90% of the time playing covers of others. Not a good move for new father, or someone who shouldn't be around lots of drinking.

But I wish you the best of luck my friend, I do know you have a way of making the improbable happen.

What's up, Scott?

definitely not trying to make a living... there's no money in it.

but honestly? it's hard to get recognition if you suck, have no songs, and play other people's music

I don't do clubs and such, but alcohol isn't an issue. It's not like I'm "not drinking". I flat out just don't drink anymore. I have zero desire for it whatsoever. There are 7 bottles of whiskey on our kitchen counter that have been there since we moved in in Nov because I'm not just going to throw away nice scotch like that LOL

I PM'ed ya.....

Badass to hear man, I am a big fan of people breaking out of the standard mold and being creative, I have a friend that is in the country music side of things if you would like his number.

Go for it and congrats! I can setup a conversation with a friend of mine who is a singer/songwriter and has friends in the C&W arena if you like. Hit me up with a PM and I'll make an introduction.

[Cooter]

Appreciate it. I'm just waiting to hear from my buddy.

[SVT Lurch]

Good luck with it! I look forward to this thread being updated down the road with a link to the iTunes store or something like that.

Whatever makes you smile from the inside out. But, country music?!
