BIRTHDAY WRAP UP.
Happy Wife's birthday Yrall. Hope she is well. As are you.
Wanted to just post a note about last night's Birthday show at BOBBY'S IDLE HOUR, here in Nashville. Was a great night and very enjoyable by all. And the Ramp was well represented. Opening the show was "KEV MO" Emmerick, and PHIL BOY GRIGGS. They represented themselves well on both Wed. and last night. Doing three songs each, they got the feel of a real Nashville writer's night and were both ready for it. Thanks guys.
The rest of the show was intermixed with the regular Thursday night writers showcase hosted by CHARLES AND JANET COX. They are two of my best friends over the last couple of years and let us take over the stage for two and a half hours.
They have a ton of people trying play their night so it is a pretty in demand place to be. I owe the for that one.
AFter they had a couple of rounds play, it was our turn. I got up and did a couple of my first NAshville songs , THE GRAND OPENING and THAT'S WHERE IT HURTS, my first cut on SHELBY LYNNE. From there I did a new song, A WAY ABOUT HER, that was written with one of my tour clients a month ago. Then I brought up my partner in crime, JIMBEAU HINSON. Jimbeau is SONGWRITING ON STEROIDS, and the guy I get most of my training from.
He hit it out of the park with monster hits like PARTY CROWD (1995 most performed country song of the year), SETTING FANCY FREE, number one for the OAK RIDGE BOYS, our duet, THING FOR YOU, and a Rodney Carrington cut, DRINK MORE BEER. Very fitting for a Nashville dive bar! Jimbeau left the packed crowd boiling over, and we had to follow that up.
Did with ALLEN "SUPERMAN" SHERVELLE, BONNIE LEE PANDA, and JASON GREGORY, three of the finest singer songwriters I have worked with. Three songs each, led to me bringing people up one by one. CHRISTINE PARRI, one of the best Aussie singers there is, smoked the house with her sultry sounds. HEINO MOELLOR, from the MUSIC ROW SHOW, on WSM (home of the Grand Old Opry), PAUL JEFFERSON (number one on THAT'S AS CLOSE AS I GET TO LOVING YOU", and one of my favorites, "SUSAN."
My friend;s Greg Stapelton Janet and Charles, and Sam Cooper, all took turns playing and it was a great night. Finally I rounded it jup with a few of my old standbys CAN'T BLAME NOBODY, CLEANING UP AROUND THE HOUSE, BAREFEET, OLD MEMORIES and of course, TABLES AND CHAIRS. Was a fun night, especially playing my new COLE CLARK AUSTRALIAN guitar. Great product from the NAMM SHOW.
