It is hard to be outside Nashville and imagine what it's like in Nashville. Even if you're successful though it's still tough. There's a writer I know who wrote two top five singles, another top twenty single, with one of them being a George Strait single. He was working at Guitar Center the last time I saw him.

Most people think their songs are great and I'm no different. My only advantage is I know how wrong most of us are about that. Ever watch the tryouts at American Idol? Some of those people might just want to be on TV but the ones who come out crying actually thought they could win.

This year I had the pleasure of watching Susan Boyle shock the world. If you write as good as Susan Boyle sings, you have a good chance. And I personally think it you write that good, you will be noticed. Am I that good? Shoot yeah, just ask me! They must not have found me yet. I'm sure they're looking.
