Update

“Our goal is to be published songwriters, with a cut on the radio, by the time we are 40. 1,541 days to go.”-originally posted August 8, 2006……

Wow…It’s been a little while since the last update.

Well sports fans 2008 was a good year. Things are moving right along. Brother Chris launched his solo career. He’s been working it pretty hard, blitzing radio stations across the country, touring, playing locally when ever possible.

He was recently recognized by the CIA, no not the fine folks from the Government, the Christian Independent Artist’s Association, with a 2009 Momentum Award for Country Artist of the Year. His first single is number 60 on Music Row’s Country Breakout Chart. It played at over 300 radio stations last week.

So, you would think right there our stated goal since 2006 has been met in fine form. Wait Gentle readers. Wait. The single……not one we wrote. Yeah. How about that? 40 is throwing me a welcome party, I can see the guests arriving now, and he releases a single we didn’t write. But I’m not bitter or anything.

I have it on good authority that the next single, due out in May, will be one of ours. Maybe then, gentle readers, maybe.

Been expanding our circle of co-writers, learning to love the edit and appreciating it for more than just a four letter word, figuring out that A-B-A-B over and over, when you say it really fast, starts to sound like “Baby”, so grow up and write something different, and trying to find ideas in everything. Enjoying seeing it, whatever “it” is, grow.

Miles and miles to go. 575 days….
