On May 15, 2010 the Marshall Convention Center in Marshall Texas will come alive with some of the best music the great state has to offer. This year's event is hosted by the legendary B.J. Thomas.
Last year I introduced you to the talented performers nominated for Entertainer of the Year.
I'll be doing the same this year as well as checking in with some of our favorites from last year who find themselves in other categories.
So get comfortable in the saddle, my friends, and enjoy the ride!

Welcome to 2010
The year for me has gotten off to a rocky start. My computer time became very limited as I found myself solely responsible (for the majority of the time thus far) for my 2 yr old granddaughter. I adore her and am relishing the time I get to spend with her. Unfortunately it has also meant my writing has taken a back seat.
I thank all of you for your patience as I traverse this bump in the road and I will post to you as frequently as 2 yr old fingers will allow. :-)
Now... onto important stuff!

Want to be a Successful Writer?
Yes you heard me right. I'm talking writing today. After all, if the words were never put onto paper, how did we come about some of the great songs of our time?
Aside from being a talented musician and songwriter, W.C. Jameson (http://www.wcjameson.com/) is an award-winning author. With over sixty books to his credit and a vast amount of magazine articles and essays marking his career, W. C. knows what it takes to see your name on a book jacket or byline. And like most authors I've met, he's happy to share his tips and tricks with you.
In his book - Want to be a Successful Writer? Do This Stuff - (www.rockinsrpublishing.com) W.C doesn't talk about grammar, punctuation, plotting, or any of the technical stuff. What he does talk about are the qualities every successful writer must have to make it in this business. Those same qualities apply to other aspects of your artistic life. Whether you are a musician, a painter or a paper artists, if you want to rise above 'hobby status', you need to adopt these basic characteristics.
If your goal is to be published or have a recording contract in the new year, I recommend you read this book. And when you're through, drop a comment here and let me know how it helps you live your dream.

Buddy Case
Nothing beats an evening with good friends and great music and last Friday night was no exception. I was attending the Ozark Creative Writers conference in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Buddy Case http://www.buddycase.com/bionew.html
was our featured entertainment for Friday evening. Man, if you’ve never heard this man perform you are missing out on life.
Whether he is solely picking an instrumental on his guitar or singing along, his music is pure magic. Not only is he one of the most accomplished pickers of his time but he writes songs about the everyday things, turning them into a special event you want to experience.
His most recent CD, Citizen of the World http://www.buddycase.com/musicnew.html is a showcase of some of the best music I’ve ever heard Buddy perform. Whether he’s singing Ghost of Gettysburg or a remake of Georgia On My Mind, there isn’t a tune on this album to disappoint you. If you’re getting in the holiday spirit, check out his Christmas album while you’re on his music site. White Christmas is beautifully done as only Buddy can pick it.
And when it comes to performing, Buddy knows how to do it right. He and his wife, Karen, have built their home around their passion for sharing his talent as well as that of musical friends they’ve made along the way. The Loft concerts bring in some of the best mix of true country and blues players for a weekend of picking and performing. With plenty of food and good times to share and any monies raised go to the Big Creek Ranch where he teaches guitar lessons for a new generation of musicians.
Stop by Buddy’s website and say hi, or next time you’re down Enola, AR way look him up. It will be the best musical time you’ve ever experienced.
