“I don’t have a long-winded speech. I usually let the songs speak for themselves.
The hits come and go. The performance money hopefully goes on and helps you through
the mean and lean streaks. But you still have to keep at it. Thanks to Michael

So I said “will you put two of my songs, my new ones, on your next recording.
He said yes! So, the name of the game is… hustle!”
