Thanks for a Great Week!
I wrote with James Tealy at Universal MP yesterday morning. After grabbing some orange juice and saying hello to Michael Puryear the “doorman“ we headed up to room #5. Next door a country song was being written while we worked through a new idea. You never know who will be writing there. After catching up, we finished a nice chorus and verse and recorded a work tape before getting some “queso at SATCO” (San Antonio Taco Company) down the street. Holly Zabka and Rick Shelton were there wheeling and dealing.
When we got back Jodie and Jubilee were there to pick me up for my next appointment. They had been to the art store. James and I went back in to get some lines down we came up with during lunch and ended up flowing so well we finished the whole song in a matter of minutes. We made a work tape to turn in and I took off for Jamie Harvill's house to write.
Jamie has an infectious spirit. Something happens when we sit in a room and start writing. He has a way of pulling out the best in me. I just sang the first couple lines of the verse (the only thing I had besides the hook) and he was already reading my mind musically. We charted out the structure to the coolest little up-tempo vertical artist tune. We had to break before we were done but what we have sounds so nice. It will be fun finishing up the lyric on this one.
Thanks James and Jamie, It's always a pleasure.
I'll be just hanging at BBPM this morning finishing up some things and we will head out for Joplin town this afternoon. Thanks to Simon, Marty, Jaime, James, and Jamie, and especially to Sue for a great week.
