Preface

From Movie City to Music City USA (My Journey through Showbiz and how it Works) incorporates 25 years of my own personal experiences, as well as showing how the industry actually works from the legit to the not so legit. I have pursued all phases of the entertainment industry from acting to producing, and recording to writing. There aren't too many phases of this industry that I haven't tried to tap into and yet there are hundreds of areas of the entertainment industry that I haven't, which you will see, as you progress through this literary journey that I share with you.  

Although to date I haven't made what everyone refers to as the “big time,” I have yet to totally give up, nor will I until the day that I die.  At the same time, I also encourage any and all to never give up their life’s pursuit no matter what that may be.  Many will travel by bus, train, plane, car, or simply walk and stick out their thumb to the world's most inexpensive and most inconvenient mode of travel “hitchhike” to get to Movie City or Music City USA just for a small piece, even smaller than a crumb, of the showbiz pie.

As long as one tries then one never fails.  If you've seen the movie National Treasure starring Nicholas Cage, in one scene he explains that when Thomas Edison was trying to invent the light bulb someone stated he had failed 2,000 times, and Thomas Edison replied, "I didn't fail I just found 2000 ways how not to make a light bulb.”

  So find your 2000 ways of how not to make it, and then find your one way to succeed and I'll meet you there
