Vikki,

Jimi Heath makes right look wrong. (OK, JPFERS, I WANT FIVE SONGS WITH THAT AS A HOOK...NOW!!) That's exactly what it's like. Nashville, if you can make it here you can make it anywhere (where have I heard that?) The same rules apply, just different grooves. Mr. Blume "gets" that, so he gets cuts here, he gets Rock cuts, Pop cuts, R&B cuts and Rap cuts. He listens (I don't know this for sure, but...I know this for sure) to every style, studies it. Doesn't think, "How can I make fun of this to impress my friends?" Rather, he thinks, "How can I get 'inside' this world and create something that makes folks feel and gets them dancing?" and he does a great job of it. Just listen to his songs on his MySpace site.

Also, here's the part I love, as a JPF mentor, he could be reading this thread that Ande (another true friend of the songwriter) started. Jason Blume would be a very valuable ally if he were to click on someone's soundclick site and was blown away by what he heard.

As Jerry Lee Lewis once said, "Think about it, darlin'!"

All the Best,
Mike

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
