If I got a record I would come back so all American -- I think about how cool is that. How'd that happen I mean a lot of a lot of musicians are probably wondering how old. Guys like you guys like safety -- get discovered what your story. You know I don't know limits like. He was like them just a lot of heart and a lot of passion and some heard the record at the right time and nor did he wasn't like I got into this to do career or something that was just something I believe it's so much I wanted to do every day and I'm -- and I can I interject there. Would you grade is that my interview that -- back -- a further back at -- because he's one of the best writers in Nashville son that's easy. That was an easy one for us on Soledad well I think -- when I gotta get I can't inject overmatched Monsanto. I'll give you tournaments that -- good idea -- Settle it here earlier and other.

I got a new music through writing what he says you know about writing was really hard guardian that was -- way. Was a literature major and that it really group -- family didn't do music I think my mom rented a piano for one day. And that I came home and I banged on it so much from its its directed that I came back and extent was gone -- so. So music for it was just -- part of our -- his upbringing in and but somehow I got into it in college and I would steal my roommates Qatar announced -- on the front porch and start writing songs and there was in The Who has a career was assuming no poured my heart into -- friends heard the -- came in the cassette tape and then different today we anticipate them and pretty soon I was. You know -- Burn CDs for five dollars all the people I do and that's kind of where it started. You'd like to read and guitar piano literature I've read both both when -- armpit I don't I -- don't appear to just a year ago so every -- you know until this record one of them. Is like me breaking into. The facility of some sorts in using their opinion you know it's funny I read that time as this one of your web sites that somebody about that and eight we we -- that no way because my were my college radio station was in this hall -- an editorial in the basement. And after I got the I get up and there'd be this huge piano on a stage and you with -- lights were out to sort of play at night if that's what I did on the circuit there's actually so called arms straight away that I. I would go home for Christmas and I always would -- to -- on the piano and I and so I I figured out a way to break into the U this year receive -- hall and I had to.
