When I am excited about a song I want to release it rather than wait to build up an album.

I know as a fan of music I want my favorite artists to give me as much content and music as possible , so that is what I am trying to do.

In my office, I have framed album covers by Dottie West, Connie Smith, Tammy, Dolly, Loretta and Jessi Colter.
