Marc- 

Thanks so much for a most wonderful "tour"!  It was not only very informative, but loads of fun.  It was great seeing so many people I had met previously, and getting to meet lots of other songwriters as well.  You and Tina had every detail diligently planned to pack as much information and experience in to a short period of time as was humanly possible, without bending time (which I think we might have done a time or two).  Getting to spend time with the California group, learning what they do in their workshops, and the level of commitment that they bring to songwriting was a bonus. 

I have always been in awe of you and your many talents, and I so much appreciate your willingness to share your considerable knowledge, talent and expertise with the group.  It was great getting to spend time with Tina, and to hear Joie talk about her experiences as well as perform at The Commodore.  I also enjoyed hearing Barbara Cloyd perform and talk about her experiences and mistakes.  One of the absolute highlights was your birthday bash at GaDang's.  You know how much I love hearing you and Jimbeau and Jay getting down.  WOW!! 

The co-writing day was another great experience.  As you know, I have been greatly increasing the amount of co-writes that I do, and this was another wonderful opportunity to add to that experience.  I think our co-write group has a good start on a fine song, and we all expressed the intent to finish it.   There were so many experiences that you provided for us in the time that we were together, that I have yet to completely process all that we did.  I do know that it was a great experience and that even with the many, many trips I've made to Nashville, it was well worth my time and I will strongly recommend it to anyone who is serious about their writing and understanding the business of music. 

You went so beyond the three-day tour by getting the group together informally on Wednesday evening and then again on Sunday.  Another bonus was Jay's inviting us to his place for a cookout.  What a beautiful setting!  And how much fun to relax and hang out with others who share your dream and passion. 

Marc, it was an incredible week!  I will share and share the details of all the great things that you set up for us with my songwriting group.  Sharing in one of your tours would be a most worthwhile use of time and money for anyone in the group who wants to understand what the Nashville music scene and music business is all about. 

You rule...and Tina is the power behind the throne (or something like that)!
