Throughout my time in Nashville I've often</B></div> <div> <B>heard people say things like, "Hey, it's just music."   That always seems to get said whenever you're going through a hard</B></div> <div> <B>time directly related to the music business, and frankly it just rubs me the wrong way.  Music is not only about everything</B></div> <div> <B>that happens in life, but it's my way of life.  And it's not just the fact that it's a big part of how I express myself, but I also left</B></div> <div> <B>everything behind that mattered the most to me at the time for my love of music:  my home, my family and friends, college.</B></div> <div> <B>It's really hard for me to look at it like it's "no big deal" when things don't work out exactly the way I'm hoping.  It seems to</B></div> <div> <B>me that saying "it's just music" not only undermines my hopes and dreams, but the power within the music itself.  It's amazing </B></div> <div> <B>to me how music affects other people's lives, and for some reason I'm drawn to be one of those people who creates it.  All I can </B></div> <div> <B>ever hope for is that my music puts a smile on someone's face when they need it the most.  So yeah, it ain't just music to me for</B></div> <div> <B>many, many reasons!</B></div> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="16faf500.gif" border=0 width="175" height="80" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> </B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="1ad639c0.jpg" border=0 width="611" height="156" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
