Phil,
NAME RECOGNITION is one of the REASONS you co-write. Mentioning myself and RiDawn, particularly to Don and Karen McNatt and other people it gives them an AIR OF FAMILIARITY, or a connection to someone they know. Also it can bring me business if you talk about doing things with me. So you are also a bit of a representative to me. You will continually run into people who are thinking about coming to Nashville and will want to know what to do.
BUT REMEMBER, NEVER TRY TO HARD SELL ME TO ANYBODY. Point out my web site, or try to get them to come here. Let them see for themselves.
But that is the reason you are doing that. You mention things you are doing and have been involved with. You don't make a big deal or name drop but just be realistic. And you should be trying to get in with some of these people. And people like TAYLOR CRAVEN and others that you have come into contact with. Try to invite them or get invited to the guitar pulls or writers parties. Watch the "river house" across from the Florabama. There are often things going on over there.
Show up to our private party Sunday night. Go to our show at the RV park on Sunday afternoon. There are many things to do that are away from the actual festival that you'll want to be aware of. Keep your ears and eyes open. And when you perform, DON'T SUCK!!! You never know who is listening.
MAB
