Surround Yourself with Artists!
From the earliest period of time that I can remember music has been in my life. My Dad would settle into his spot on the sofa in the evenings and often pick up his Fendor and play. I cut my teeth listening to him and singing along to The Edmund Fitzgerald, by Gordon Lightfoot; Jim Croce's, Operator and Don't Mess Around with Jim, real live music. Through each phase of my life music has been there for me, through thick and thin, it has helped me to understand this thing we call life.
Not long after moving to Nashville I met someone that shared many of my ideals and felt the same ties to our southern heritage. I found her to be spellbinding and knew that she was just the type of artist that I appreciated, because she was a storyteller too. Soon after meeting her I went to see one of her shows and as if to give her audience a glimpse of her soul her voice rendered emotions, excitement and took me on a journey that only good music can.

Crouched on her sofa or mine we have killed many hours with a glass of wine and some deep conversation. Both expecting something great from life and on a separate journeys to find that, I made a friend that I will keep my whole life through.
As described by her peers in the Music Industry Molly as a writer, as a musician, and as an entertainer beguiles you. To me her voice crosses between that of an angel and a queen, tender but fierce.
Ages from now when the sun and time have made their marks on my flesh and the life that I know is more past than future, I will consider myself richer to have experienced the effects of her music, the intellect, and the person that is Molly. Doting I am not, find her out.
