Hi All,

I just found out that my song "If You Only Knew" was chosen as a "Top Pick" on tonos.com. http://tonos2.infopop.net/2/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=531090022&f=233098038&m=7613019107

The irony in this is that just this same week I found out that I did not make it as a finalist in the Orange County Music Awards (and I am also going to the JPF awards show tonight in which I'm not nominated.) It just goes to show that you win some and you lose some. I am learning in this life that there is a direct correlation between perseverance and success. We as musicians must always keep that in mind and write and play because we love it and not worry about the rest! In fact, the more successful we become the more critisism we will most likely encounter- just read a few reviews of famous bands and artists in the newspaper each week!

So, keep on keeping on!
