Tonight is the Songwriters Roundup at the Mountain View Meeting Place. It was well worth the $15 per ticket price. Two of the songwriters, Joe Allen and David Lynn Jones, have written chart songs for the likes of Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Glen Campbell, and Loretta Lynn to name a few. It was great to hear them relate the stories as to how they came up with the songs. In addition to these two, we heard Pam Stetser, Kevin “Tuck” Tuckfield. The neatest part was listening to Tim Crouch. He is not a songwriter but he is the number one guy for studio work in Nashville. He is so talented. It was fun to listen to the banter on stage. I believe all of these folks hail from Arkansas. These folks were also very humble and down to earth. Had the chance to speak to a lot of them during the intermission as they made their way through the audience. Tuck and his wife stayed at the Ozark Country Inn so we had a chance to talk more after they ate breakfast and before they had to leave. Nice folks.
