Great day Tuesday at Oceanway demonstrating to Japanese engineers from the NTT Global leadership event how Music City uses digital technology, WiFi and the internet. Mackenzie Morgan performed live to Facebook using Ustream as everyone watched and posted comments on their iPads and iPhones. They went to D.C. (not de capo) the next day to meet with Vint Cerf, one of the founding fathers of the internet. Thank you Eko and Nari Ishii for a very interesting and rewarding day!

Steve Jobs didn’t stand on anyone’s shoulders. He was a singular force that brought about world change. I have admired him since 1984, and am so grateful to be a recipient of his vision.

Thank you Victoria Banks, for this incredible song about the spirit, diversity and will of our beautiful city of dreams, Nashville, TN.

Had the good fortune to start my work week with Aaron Lewis (Staind) and end it with Lady Antebellum. Of course, that was antediluvian…

It’s one thing to admire two really talented women, but it’s much cooler to spend the day writing a great song with them! Liz won P. Diddy’s Starmaker Reality TV show on MTV recently, and now she’s talking with record labels in Nashville about a country deal, and focusing her attention on writing. Amanda is a dynamic performer and writer in Nashville, having most recently co-written Lyric Street Record’s Tyler Dickerson single “Tell Your Sister I’m Single” . Check these girls out – they’re both making some great music!
