Every once in a while lightning strikes twice. Maybe even more. I read about a guy who got struck seven times. I don't know if that is a lucky thing, but it says something about going against the odds.

Well, I've had a good year with this song. Over the past year, "The Price of a Song" was the lyric winner of the 2019 NSAI/CMT Song Contest, the Great American Song Contest, the 2018 Mid-Atlantic Song Contest, and the Dallas Songwriters Association Lyric Contest.

It's also available on Amazon, Spotify, iTunes, etc.

It got me to Nashville a couple times last year, and I got to hang out with Lori McKenna, got a new guitar, and a few other things. The warm and fuzzy feel doesn't last long, but it sure is nice to know a few people like your song.

So keep plugging, everyone. Wait around 50 years or so and something might happen!
