I've been working on the railroad...

We're already making great progress on the next issue of the magazine, and on Wednesday a meeting is scheduled to check progress and compare notes on our special year-end issue. There's one issue between those two, but I'm sure that one will print itself.

Last week I had the opportunity to interview Heather Morgan. She grew up in Texas and did the singer-songwriter thing here before moving to Nashville to pursue songwriting full time. She's in the last year of a multi-year deal with Warner-Chappell and has hit her groove, starting to score lots of cuts.

The plan is to format the story in Q&A style and try to capture the good side of Nashville. Folks here in Texas are fond of running down the Nashville machine (and vice-versa, to be honest). I look forward to exposing the good side of Music City.

The fact that the interview serves a dual purpose - interview for the magazine and research for the WIP - is pure gravy.
