Influences
JONI MITCHELL, PAUL SIMON, RICKIE LEE JONES, TOM PETTY, 80's ROCK MUSIC....STILL THINKING. THIS COUULD TAKE AWHILE
SOMETIMES I WONDER HOW I EVER ENDED UP IN NASHVILLE TENNESSEE .............HOW A FORMER CALIFORNIA 1980'S COVER BAND DIVA LANDED A RECORD DEAL AND THEN A WRITING DEAL IN THE DEEP SOUTH.....WELL, IT'S ALL KIND OF A BLUR, BUT
I HAVE MANAGED TO HAVE A FEW HITS WITH COUNTRY ARTISTS:
"SHUT UP AND DRIVE" FOR CHELY WRIGHT
"SOMEBODY" FOR REBA MCINTIRE
AND MOST RECENTLY "IF YOU'RE GOING THROUGH HELL" FOR RODNEY ATKINS..........................................
THE LATEST IS EMERSON DRIVE'S "MOMENTS" WHICH JUST BECAME OUR 3RD NUMBER ONE. TAKE A LISTEN.
THOSE SONGS PAY MY BILLS. BUT.... IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW ME, LISTEN TO MY SONGS.......SAMPLE A COUPLE ON THIS PAGE....
I COULDA BEEN A DOCTOR, BUT I COULDN'T STAND THE PAIN
I COULDA BEEN A LAWYER BUT I'M NOT GOOD AT THAT GAME
I'M THE ONE WHO ROCKED THE BOAT AND SOWED THE OATS
AND DANCED UNTIL THE DAWN
SWINGIN' FROM THE STARS I WISHED UPON
YEAH, I'M THE ONE

Hi Annie! I made a 5 minute video preview of the 2008 workshop to advertise for 2009. There are a few funny clips of you and Sam, and one of your girls jumping in the lake with Kaylie. Thought you might want to see it! It will be on the new website for the workshop as soon as I finish it, but for now it's here in my blog. We had so much fun with you and Sam, and we look forward to having you back if you can make it this August! Take care, and Merry Christmas to you both and your girls.
