Derek was playing with Josh when I saw him at my first ever country concert. Very cool to listen to this conversation and piece it all together. What a talented guy!

Hi Derek, I appreciate your comment about songwriting. It is a very tight niche and even if you get a cut; You still have to prove yourself each day. I think by adding the wrong guitar part or the wrong sound, publishers will just say, "It's Film and TV". I am thinking 10 Year Town would make a good song if it can be broad enough. No such thing as talent! That is so funny:leading up to 31:50 "I'm going to play something everybody hates" I don't mean to take it out of context but I will just say, "Welcome to my world". Usually Bass isn't that way because that's my main instrument. I saw your composition gift in what you played in your video on laying down a track.
