thanks terrill,

i dont know that i have any special wisdom....the only thing i have done right is to keep at it.....despite the odds......cause as you all know its kind of a compulsion that grabs ya and wont let go....u can be successful in this that and whatever in other efforts in life...........but if you dont get a song or two picked up well that will always bug you......obviously it became a insane obsession with me....i came to nashville at age 52 with absolutely no connections......thats really nuts and i dont reccomend it to anyone but i am just one of those people who likes to skate in wind tunnels i guess.......so just keep at it......

TOM
