I guess that's the bottom line -- there will be folks from all over the country that will succeed. If you have great songs and a great attitude, you have to ask yourself "Why not me?" If you want it, you have to go get it. No one is asking for you.

The best advice I've heard MAB give -- if you are a songwriter, find new talent around your area and start writing WITH them -- not just trying to push your tunes.

Of course, going to Nashville and seeing where the bar is really set is not a bad idea either. You can use that knowledge to help you get more competitive.
