ANOTHER USE FOR SONGWRITERS
Last night was a very special night at DOUGLAS CORNER, with myself, Allen Shervelle (WITH Kelly Shervelle, hard to get used to saying that), Jeff Batson and Eric Haines, and Jeff Batson. Great round. And a special guest slot with Keith "Bull" Dozier, was a great part to be involved with. The top was that it was done to raise money for Lung Cancer. Allen and Kelly both had Uncles, parents,grandparents who had come through the "C" word. Jeff and his girlfriend had both had grandparents die from the disease, and my Father died of complications due to lung disease. So there was a lot of personal involvement there.
Norman, Tina, and Ridawn were there representing the Rampers, and of course, Matt Casey had a couple of songs done and was talked about by everyone. Matt is kind of becoming Nashville's "Bigfoot' , someone that everyone has heard of but not that many have actually glimpsed sight of.
A really cool part was when Allen did his, Norm and my song, TRYING MY BEST TO LIVE, and recorded it for his family in New Jersey, dedicating it to his two uncles who passed away from Lung disease.
It is great to be able to help causes. That is one of the main reasons to be involved with this. Music is meant to share and do good. I think we did.
