Just want to give a big shout out to all my fans, friends, and family who have helped to make five of my songs chart on ReverbNation!  The amazing thing is that I did not enter the songs into competition.  The fans have found a couple of acoustic tunes and a couple of tunes from the "Real American Country" CD newly released on the Collectibles Label, and they have been playing them! 

"Georgia On My Mind" has shot way ahead in the number one spot, and it has pulled "Barrel Racer," co-written with Tom Pick; "Drive-In-Movie Blues," from the "Real American Country" CD,  acoustic version of "Watermelon Time," co-written with James "Bo" Bohon, and "Don't Forget To Add My Name," co-written with Jacky Ward, also from the "Real American Country" CD!

Four songs are tied for number two!  Amazing!

Tim Kinsey Spotlight Artist for Music Row Connection Current mood:  artistic Music Kudos to my Mobile, Alabama friend Tim Kinsey for his spotlight feature at Music Row Connection!  We co-produced the project that has produced several internet hits and his nomination and victory in the Country Male Vocalist category for the 2008 MySpace National Music Awards! You can catch him at Veets Downtown Royal Street, Mobile, Alabama playing with Doug Previto & the Family Jewels!  He is a major talent on the verge of international acclaim! Tim Kinsey CD Design Spotlight Tim Kinsey and Howard Lips provided the stunning pictures for this project, with ideas already in place about how to execute things. ... www.musicrowconnection.us/tim_kinsey/kinsey.html
