Well if I was in Nashville and had the opportunity to write/work with/assoicate with all music types maybe I would have more to work with. I think my first attempt at songwriting was on Guam in the early 60's. So I had to go where life took me etc. And to be sure it is A LONG ROAD TO TIPPEREARY and maybe even a longer Road to Nashville thru all those obsticles.
