"...perfect for relaxing, sippin cocktails, enjoying friends, and appreciating life! These well-crafted songs really express a person's ability to love love and to hate it, to lose love and to be completely overtaken with it. A little bit country, a little bit folk, a lot of talent!" Listen and Download at ITunes :
"A cool retro country two beat ... in the vein of Bob Wills meets Lyle Lovett....a classic country song...good melody over some cool chord changes on a swinging country groove.... [A] vivid picture of waiting at the train station and hoping that love has not passed you by ... very encouraging and clever ... a solid country song." TAXI

Guide Me Home (Writers: Bruce & Beth Scism, Gary Best)
Hey Bruce - Great to meet you the other night! Really enjoyed your tunes. I see you're playing the Bluebird at the fall. I'll try to be there if my schedule allows it. Hope you are well!
Hey Bruce, sorry that it took me so long for a reply, but my life's so busy, since I've only 4 months to make the best out Helsinki/Finland... :) But thank you for your message. Very nice tunes you have posted here! With a little luck I can already realise my USA trip next summer, but let's see how things are gonna work out. Anyway, I'm looking forward to meeting you and Beth in real life. =)
Have a very nice Christmas time over there! All the best, Ingo
Hey Bruce... sorry for being out of the loop so long, but life has been more than nuts here in H-Town. Nevertheless, I always think of you and Dan and smile... and just a thought, if AIG goes under, you might be hanging with Kerri and I sooner than Shelby's graduation from High School (no joke). Tell Dan hello and give him a hug for me... and then tell him (and Billy, at the top of your lungs) that I said - "CHICKIN BISCUIT!" Heh. Take care bro.
Great songs man. Really enjoyed meeting you and hearing you play. Where's the Commodore? Sorry, kinda new here. I would be interested, just gimmie a date. Thanks for asking!
I just wanted to let you know that the tables are so BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! They are just so nice, they look great in the house. Thanks again for making them for us! FOr all your time and effort!!! I know how hard you worked on them! :)
Hi Bruce! Belated thanks for coming to the Bluebird! It was great to meet you and my only regret was. . . not enough time! Hopefully on another trip I can come hear you!
I could always use some more support from my friends. If you would please go to the following link and listen to my songs it'd be greatly appreciated. Let me know what you think. http://www. wemix. com/16
Hi Bruce, I'm enjoying the music here--Waiting to Fall, beautiful. Regarding the Bluebird on June 17th--it's the early show at 6 pm with Kent Forward, Kari Hilpert, and Craig Monday. We would love to have you come out! How cool that you moved to Nashville, you brave man you! All the best, Charlotte
