My first newsletter in a long long time...

Greetings,

I just finished a show in Charleston, South Carolina at a little
coffee shop called City Lights Cafe. Getting feedback on new
songs has been valuable since many of my songs end up back in the
recycle bin.. some make it beyond that for potential future
recordings.

One of my newer songs called "Me and You and a Cadillac" seems
to be one of those songs that will be recorded. I've played it
from Detroit to Nashville, to South Carolina, to Florida...
That song seems to light up the room, and people react to it.
At an open mic in Nashville, a bar manager walked up to the
stage and started cheering (during the song)! That was after 40
other Musicians already played at the open mic night! Nashville
is a tough town for a Musician to stand out amongst the many
Musicians trying to "make it"!

The whole idea of "making it" is more about an attitude and
just being yourself, than anything else. In other words.. a
copy cat Musician may be able to earn some money playing cover
gigs, but the chances of going beyond that are even more slim
for someone who just does their own thing.

I know it has been a long time since writing a newsletter! Since
you last heard from me I have expanded my song list, and also
been working like crazy on my indie record label / music
promotion company called "3000 Records". The social networks
like Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook have really taken things to
another level.

Still, I've been watching the everyday issues like our economy
and feeling concerned over just how screwed up the economy is..
Priorities are backwards. America was never meant to be in debt
to other nations like China. The paper money we spend every day
is only as valuable as people believe it to be.

My wife and I will be staying in Charleston until Friday before
heading to Myrtle Beach. It's nice to be in 60 degree weather
this time of year. I know it's darn cold up in Michigan.

As you may have seen, my "stage name" has been a work in
progress. My dad told me once that he intended for the spelling
of my first name to be "Terence" but the nurses put the wrong
spelling on my birth certificate "Terrance". Anyways, I thought
to possibly use that spelling as my stage name.. along with the
last name "Holiday" which is a change up from "Terrance Day".
While it's not "official" I am leaning in that direction waiting
for more confirmation over time.

God bless you and thanks for being part of my email list!

Warm Regards,

T.
