So, I dont expect a lot of yall to read this, but rather just typing to get stuff off my chest so here goes.. We got back from Nashville late last night, and I cant really put into words how I feel when I get back from trips like these. Just being out on the road, playing music, and living my dream in NASHVILLE of all places. WOW! I just have to remind myself what a blessing alone that is. I dont know what if anything will come out of the trip though. Mom and I took my demos around to as many companies as I could look up, and got them in the right folks hands, with or without them asking for them. I played a not so great show at Douglas Corner which you can see my latest video of on my Youtube, and continued my bad luck there with both my batteries in my guitar and tuner going dead almost simultaneously. I did get to go see WWE live again, so who am I to complain? I cant complain in the least about my time spent there. It served its purpose and God has His reasons for all of it. Something will come from it, no matter if its a record deal or just a lesson in appreciation, it served its purpose. I am humbled and thankful for each and every opportunity, and no matter what obstacles I face or how discouraged I get sometimes, I press on in pursuit of my dream. Just as Ive pressed on with singing for almost twenty-five years now and writing songs for fourteen. When its your passion and its in your heart, you never give up, and you never will. Id like to thank my mom for once again making the trip with me and believing in me like no other. Id also like to thank someone who I hardly know. I hope he doesnt mind me putting his name out there but out of the kindness in heart and his belief in my abilities and my music, literally just walked up and handed me a $100 bill for the trip. Heres to you Donnie Buttery. You didnt have to do that, but you did and it meant a lot and helped out so much. Thank you. I also have to thank all of you for all of your love, your support, and most importantly, your prayers. No matter what yall do for me, it doesnt have to be financially or even listening to my music really. Just sending that kind word of encouragement and letting me know you believe in me or sending up a prayer to the Good Lord above really means so much. Thank you for all that you do for me. Most importantly, I cant do this without my amazing God and His loving son, my Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ. I am enormously blessed and grateful for being able to live a dream that most can only dream. Now that Im home, things sure dont stop here. I will press on. Ill be resuming my shows in 2 weeks at the Mustang as well as stretching out as far as possible for shows all over the country using the help of the internet. I will be creating a Kickstarter account so yall can help fund my new cd, and we can FINALLY get it out there to you all, with or without the help of a record label. Ill be making my presence online even greater by reaching out and hitting as many people on as many platforms as possible. Who knows, maybe Ill make plans for where my next venture will be. Maybe its time to finally take my music out to California or Texas? ;-) If I can make one promise, its that WE will make this happen. I truly believe in it that much, and I have the biggest faith in my Almighty God possible, and I truly believe that this is what He wants me to do. So, lets go do it, right? :) As I woke up and went running today, I was listening to the new Kenny Chesney record on Spotify, and this song came on. I may not have my bus yet, but if you replace it with my CRV or go old skoo with my Mustang, this song tells it like it is. It hit me harder than any song has hit me in a long time so love him or hate him, I have to thank a fellow local boy for that. This is my story, and this is what its all about. I hope you enjoy it as well. Thank you all again for just simply believing in me and believing in my dream. Believe me when I say, were just gettin goin, and in the words of my boy John Cena, Never give up. :) -with Sandy Ellis
