to you gotta move to where themusic is. And as as simple and
as obvious as that sound, Inever really considered moving to Nashville until he

(04:10):
told me that, And so Idid that. And then beyond that,
you really have to kind of betrue to yourself don't compromise who you are
and just be willing to listen toadvice. But also you have to be
your own person and stand on yourown two feet and so, and you
have to find what sets you apartfrom all the other artists out there because
