January happenings

Blake turned 16, Taylor got braces on the bottom, and there have been a couple snow days so far! The kids love the snow days, even though they haven't played outside like they used to. The dogs enjoy them getting to stay home from school, so Millie isn't crated as much, so there's that. PLUS, little Millie started training at Petsmart, she is such a smart girl!

Billy found out the the Nashville Songwriters Association had a St. Louis chapter and that they hold local events. There was an open mic night for NSAI members at a small coffee shop called Picasso's on Main. Billy couldn't wait to join in! The only stress was choosing which 3 or 4 songs to play. Mike, Mandy and Max decided to go so I went along with them. That way, Billy could focus on networking and deciding on songs and I could have some friends to hang with. I am glad I went, it was fun and Billy did awesome! He played,  Livin' in a John Prine song, One way road, The Stranger, and Drinking Scotch Whiskey. He got to network before he makes his trip to Nashville in March!
