Well it was a successful breakfast gig But It was Milton's other that would get me moving in the direction I wanted to be going About six months later while we were in the He told me he was planning one of his trips to Which he did once or a year to record of his songs, which he would then pitch to recording artists in
He had a pretty track record and he had established pretty contacts in music city as well He me to come along And explained the plan Travis had moved to Nashville a couple of earlier when a job opened up as a full engineer at Spar Recording Studios
He would be engineering sessions Milton wanted me to do a of one of his contemporary songs called round a ball When that was finished we use the time left on the session to record of my songs With the ace studio he had hired He told me that the top pedal player at the time, Lloyd Greene was from and a and would be playing on the session
Milton had told him about me coming This would give us a Nashville session of demos that he then pitch to record companies I him about 1000 times in the after he explained the plan And with Milton's help, it seemed that a few pieces of the I saw as my future, seemed to be finally fitting

seemed to have gotten a little more of his money's than Gordon did Anyway, Here's one of the songs that i recorded in Mobile before I went looking for my own fortune... is the Gypsey
