I called Ten Ten and nobody was in the office and, to be honest, I don’t think they want to sign me at this point, because we made plans to have lunch (even though it was my suggestion) and it didn’t happen, so they weren’t making it a priority. And I don’t blame their skepticism, I mean, I haven’t proven myself in the country market, this is true, but I don’t know. Maybe I just thought everything else I was doing would be so impressive, they would forget about that, but we’ll see. Patrick Clifford called in the afternoon and agreed to listen to my demos and I took them over and he said they were too elaborate, I should just make guitar/vocal demos and that’s what everybody tells me. But he wants me to write with Angelina Presley and he played me some of her stuff and she’s brilliant. So, I was feeling somewhat deflated, because I felt certain that the demos I was doing were undeniable hits, and maybe they still are, but they failed the first mission. Back to the drawing board.
