My Nashville History

Hello friends! My name is Joe. I am a semi-retired professional musician who still loves to play and sing, I just don't do it as often anymore. My wife and I live in the Outer Banks of North Carolina where we sing for the tourists during the summer months. During my "prime" I lived in Nashville for 12 years singing, playing and wrting songs. My wife and I are both givers and love to use our money and our talents to help other people. When I discovered Blogger recently and learned what this blogging thing was all about, I decided to start a blog to help those with dreams of a music career prepare for their venture. Your experience in Nashville will be much more enjoyable if you are prepared for the realities you will face once you get there.

What am I going to post here? Well I can promise you there will be something new every week and maybe even more often than that if I have time. I plan to post information about the music business here including articles about playing, singing and songwriting as well as information about the city itself, the Titans, the Predators, the Nashville Zoo and even life on lower Broadway where all the great music happens at little clubs like Tootsie's Orchid Lounge. There are definitely some secrets I learned about surviving in Music City that will make your time there more enjoyable and hopefully make you more successful. So please come back often and see what gems are waiting for you. Until then remember what Henry Ford said, Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs. So here's hoping you make small jobs out of everything you attemt to do.
