On the songwriting no songs you would of heard of. Few standbys that almost were album cuts. Mark Wills (for those that know him.) Brother n law was our old Band manager also, so got to got to both of his last two album releases, and went to Rascal Flatts debut album party. We played the same venues as they did when they were coming up. Was at Darly Worelys softmore debut too. Think thats all of them. Couple small ones Ive been at down at Sony, but wasnt invited by the artist for those was just friends I had down at Sony that got me the invites. Both were for non country acts. One Christian music, and cant really recall the other. Neither seemed to get very much success.
I goto showcase parties all the time. Bout 1 a month still. My publisher has me goto those just to network for once I start pushing my stuff again. Showcase parties can be odd. A large percentage of the time they get a showcase just because they have a family member or friend backing their financing. They can be really pretty scary. Had one I went to that the guys thought they were the next Montgomery Gentry. The one guy looked like Paul Sr. off American chopper only fatter. lol Music industry is an interesting deal to say the least.
