Philboy, good to see you back on the SongRamp site. I often give you credit for keeping this thread alive when it slowed down a little bit in the past.
Hey, about the former Broken Spoke. It was my understanding it closed down years ago due to a major kitchen fire. I can't imagine that wouldn't require some serious remodeling but I have no idea of the damage back then. I just can't imagine they could apply some new paint, hang some new curtains, and a new sign out front but I don't know.
A big question also seems to be whether it becomes just a bar or a songwriters hangout when they get it back opened. I guess time will tell.
Hey, I have to kid you because I know you pretty well. I can't help but to tease you about you making a 7 1/2 hour drive to the Gulf Shores to get a free $15 dollar dinner. Ha!!! I love to tell that story about you but I realize you really go out of your way to participate in their activities as you always do every year when you volunteer to help out during the FB festival. Believe me, you are a better man than this lazy old guy.
About your songs and how similar songs have come out since you wrote yours. Another lesson MAB speaks of and it happens to all of us. In fact; MAB tells the story of having a song "I Wish" (or something like that) that he played on stage during a round with Jeffery Steele but song idea's come to everyone and our's may not be the one that ends up getting the cut. Hey, it's quite an honor just to be thinking along the same lines to write a song similar to the Pro's.
Now go get your junk room cleaned out and get that gym set up so you can stay in shape to help this old guy get off the couch at FB and help get me in and out of the car. Ha!!!
Hey, where's KevMo??? He's probably working on his new cookbook before his Fawn challenge starts up soon.
