Journal - delayed flights, Phillies game National Anthem, new record label!
Hey guys, how are you doing? I wish I could tell you that I was home in my loft
writing this weekly journal to you, but instead I am here in the
waiting on my delayed flight to
here, I think it’s a great place, but I am praying that the flight makes it out
tonight because I have full press days in
Tuesday. Oh well stuff happens and that’s the chance you have to take when
there’s bad weather conditions and you have to fly. On another note, I had the
privilege and honour to sing for a half hour and do the National Anthem at the
Redding Phillies game today, it was awesome!!! That was the second time now that
I’ve performed the anthem live, it felt good and at the same time relieving
to have done it again!! The crowd was very welcoming, as well as all the
staff and organizers of the game:)
Another exciting thing that happened within
the last couple of days was, my parents flew to
totally surprised me… I haven’t seen them for 2 months or more, so it
was a real nice surprise.. They will be staying in Nashville for a week, and
although I have stuff going on while they’re here, its still nice to come home at the
end of the day knowing that they’re here:)
The Big Machine record deal is going so great, a lot of exciting things in the works! And I was excited because we were able to hire Shelley who was one of my record reps from Midas Records onto our team again… She is an awesome person to have around and that made me very happy:)! Unfortunately in the business stuff happens, and when I moved to Big Machine Records, the promotions team from Midas were let go.. It was hard
to see that happen, but unfortunately it does happen, and I pray that all those
wonderful people I worked with at Midas are filled with many more opportunities.
I’m very excited to be with Big Machine as I had mentioned in my last journal I
know they are the best, and it is going to be exciting to see what they can do. I’m just thrilled to be a part of the family! Thank you everyone for staying tuned every week to these journals , and I will talk to you next week… God Bless ag)
