Hello everyone. Thanks for getting on the email list and I am so glad you are enjoying the tunes here. It's not easy being the solo guy and support, YOUR support keeps me going to the next thing that's gong to happen. It really does. As a listener you put validation on the music we writers lay down. It would be all well and good to write and play for ourselves and truth be known, mostly we write so that tune in our head comes into fruition and it makes us happy to hear it finished but somehow, that is not enough. We have a propensity to share and hope it reaches someone else. That does leave us open to scrutiny and outside appraisals but we can't help ourselves. So here is where you all come in. A LIKE, a SHARE, a report that tells me someone in Russia, Australia, Ohio, Texas.. listened to one of my tunes.....that has energy in it! We pick up on that and we continue on in our quest to bring you all a piece of a pie you have never tasted yet! Without these simple treasures you give, the mind becomes dark and distant and it doesn't believe in itself as much and wonders WHAT WAS I THINKING??? I'm not in a band. I play and write by myself by choice. So it's all up to me what I do and so there is a lot to be said about testing these waters here at N1M and to get these results. It amazes and pleases me to no end. Oh I know they have a network of your girl pictures that they send out compliments to get us to pay for more services and it is silly to think some young girl is walking around with THERE WAS A TIME in her head. It's a song about extreme sudden loss....then again....it's a catchy tune. There I go believing in myself again! Kind of makes your day even if you don't think its real. So thank you all.....really. This is as close to a top ten hit a guy may get but it is the thing we want to accomplish, reaching out and pleasing someone. There is a fantastic book by Joesph M. Marshall III called "Keep Going". If you are up against it, I recommend it. A small book with Lakota stories about perseverance. That's what we all do and it helps when we do it together. Thanks again Stephen Monroe Omaha, NE
