Fresh back from Nashville and the 2NMC Music Conference where I was hosted to a performance at the prestigious Bluebird Cafe by the USA Songwriting Competition. I'd like to voice my personal lauds to the USA folks for offering a panoply of great opportunities to never-say-die up-and-comers such as myself, including performance opps at virtually all the Music Conferences i.e. 2NMC, Folk Alliance, SxSW et al, as well as monthly showcases held at great venues around the country in LA, NYC, and Atlanta - to name only a few. This is above and beyond the purview of an ordinary songwriting contest. My thanks to Eddie Phoon et al for being true supporters of independent music .. and damn good listeners as well.

An amusing anecdote. Man, what a city is Nashville ... live music daily from 10AM to closing .. yup, at any of about 10 downtown venues you can take in a performance by a country band (and have a beer, of course) from 10:00 in the morning on .. My favorite moment of the week was watching a band launch into "Ring Of Fire" as the pedal steel player missed the intro because he was talking on his cell phone ... his bandmates mouthed his missing part while giving him the hairy eyeball - - yikes! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Just once before I die I want to climb up on a tenement sky to dream my lungs out till I cry then scatter my ashes thru the Lower East Side. Miguel Pinero 1948-1988 as always.... THANKS FOR READING THIS FAR! See Ya Soon! hey! -- write me back! mail@joelcage.com Joel Cage http://www.joelcage.com Wanna Buy A CD?
