CIA Summit

Wow! First day of the CIA Summit in Nashville.

This was the songwriting seminar. Loralie attended and I audited. In a neat part of town in an cool old brick building in the inner city called The Foundry.

Lot's of good information and on songwriting that transfer to other disciplines (like writing). And lots of good techniques specific to songwriting.

But more than that it is a good chance to network and find out what other Christian artists are doing.

We've met people from North Carolina, California, Washington, Illinois, Missouri and there are more to meet in the next few days. We still have to meet the guy from the Netherlands and the guy from Australia.

A couple notes on the drive down: ten hours.

But a good chance to listen to CD's and talk. Some really good CD's from Tom Jackson on performances and managing your music ministry. This was recorded in Kansas City in 2005 and is still relevant today.

Time like that is a blessing.

As is this conference.
