This week my seventh Nashville anniversary quietly slipped past (save a silly picture on the web with a six foot tall rhinestone encrusted guitar).\u00a0 It\u2019s hard for me to believe we\u2019ve now been here as long as we were in Iowa.\u00a0 What has this year held professionally?\u00a0 A promotion at the radio group, continued work and international interest with \u201cIn the Songwriters Circle\u201d, a few seconds of screen time on Nashville, a blurb in an Italian documentary on songwriting called Songbirth, and a cool \u201dfull circle\u201d performance at Third and Lindsley \u2013 the first venue I visited after moving here. \u00a0\u00a0Oh yeah , and some kick-butt co-writes.\u00a0 Actually it\u2019s been an incredibly busy \u201ctype a\u201d year\u2026.as you might expect from me.<\/p>\n

All in all, I think this has been a year about perspective.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been here long enough to see the broad and the narrow, the rise and fall (as in trends and careers), and to watch places I once knew be transformed into open lots or high rises.\u00a0 One cannot deny the steady drum of progress that beats on in Nashville-Davidson. \u00a0It moves \u00a0with or without us.<\/p>\n

All signs point to the coming year to be one of change.\u00a0 I welcome the new possibilities, the voids\/refills, and the growth that will inevitably reveal itself \u2013 if not at once, eventually .\u00a0 Somewhere I heard it said \u00a0we get a new life every seven years.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know about that \u2013 but I do know the Greyhound bus depot where I landed in the summer of 2007 got a new life as the (colossal) Music City Center.\u00a0 Here\u2019s to hoping \u00a0for an expansive next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
