Full Circle
I'm no prophet, but what's the phrase? A prophet's never welcome in her home town? I grew up in a family jam and left home wanting to take on the world with my songs. I've been to radio stations all over Texas this year- 45 stations, from Oklahoma down to Corpus, from Abilene to Nacogdoches. It's ironic that here close to the end of my radio tour, I am home to visit the Ranch in Fort Worth and doing tv on channel 8 in Dallas in the morning.
It's easy to be cocky and spout off when you're out of town, but you gotta really check your facts when you come home cause they know where you live and they knew you when you were going through those awkward chubby stages long before you plucked your eyebrows or straightened your teeth. They were there when you were learning to play guitar, when you made more noise than music, and long before you had a clue about interview's or radio tours. They might have thought you had potential, but they were hard to impress.
I've been around the world honing my skills, writing songs, getting ready for the day when I could come back home and show 'em all that the promises I made about my dreams came true.
Life doesn't always turn out like you plan or hope. I was in the Sony witness protection plan for almost 4 prime years. I poured over an album for two years that never came out, but I knew I wasn't finished. I asked to be released from Sony and almost two years later, I was. Then I had to decide- do I want another major deal- do I want to stand in line for another 2 years and then still not have the guarantee of a chance to be heard? No, we took the bull by the horns and decided to go indie.
I'm happy to report we are climbing the Texas chart.
I'm happy to report that I just did an interview for the Top 20 Texas Countdown with Chuck Taylor that will air Sunday May 6th at 10 am Central Texas Time!
There's no greater feeling than coming full circle to do what you do in your hometown.
