Thanks for making me feel like a million $
I auditioned in New Orleans and was rejected. Not one to let rejection get me down I picked myself up and headed home to TEXAS. A few weeks later the Austin auditions rolled around so I loaded up and hit the highway. Got there at 5 am, there were about 100 or so people in line. By 9 there was probably a thousand of so. Then the sky’s opened up and poured down on us. Nothing could get the crowd down.
Finally around noon’30 I got before the judges and got my “Golden Buckle”. What a feeling!!! Later the producers got all the prospective finalist in the large holding room, had us start a sing-along of “Coming to your city”. Then a surprise visitor popped in; none other than John Rich!!! He came in walked straight to me and shook my hand, grabbed a guitar and we stood leaning back to back and sang a chorus of the song together. I for one was ‘Lost in This Moment”! I hope I make the show because this left me with an unquenchable hunger for more. To answer your question Mr. Rich, I want to be the next Nashville Star!!!!
Y’all can sample my music and get to know me better at:

Thanks again,

I wish John was there when I tried out.
I wish John had've been in Washington when I tried out. I did real well, but my looks were not as pretty or young as the 5 people they sent me back with to audition with. I know John would have seen the talent and not judged so much on looks and age. I am 42 but I win Karaoke contest alot and I never use the monitor to see the words. I perform the song. John if you read this blog, please let me know where I can send a demo for you to look at (video) or listen to (cassette). Thank you, Lisa
