Nan was not a confrontational person, and wanted everyone happy rather than to see them upset at truth.
The things the site could do for songwriters changed, because the mood had changed.
#The tunesmith how to#
The bottom line is that when i got sick of fighting with several people who wrote terrible songs and who didn't want to learn how to write better ones, I finally left tunesmith and the sites 'mission' changed, and soon after the quality of people there changed. (think about that) Actually- when it was a mecca of success and positive outcomes (the proof is in the people whom I predicted success for) it flourished and thrived. Most of the writers there were unrealistic about how good they were, and when i told them the truth- which was the way that "I" ran the site, many of them didn't like it. and recently he wrote a Number One song for Brad Paisley about Love starting with a toothbrush.) You can't make this **** up. Anyway- Nan took it over after about 3 years of me running the daily activities and spotlight writers (most of whom have gone on to successful songwriting careers)- including guys like Joel Shewmake for example who I picked as my spotlight writer one month to the dismay of many skeptics on the message boards. We did 3 Nashville seminars, and Nan continued those for 2 or 3 more (one of them even had a contestant who wrote and sang a song on stage called "Crawl", and 10 years later that same writer won the voice- Craig Wayne Boyd) who is a friend of mine. Then the 3 of us made tunesmith a huge success for about 3 years.
#The tunesmith professional#
at that time I had just moved to Nashville and I was low on cash, and a 'newer songwriter' by professional standards, even though I had already been writing for 15 years.
then I took on 2 partners Nan Cassidy (for financial help) and CJ Watson (for the contacts and knowledge he had in the music industry). Contrary to popular opinion (the creator of Tunesmith was ME.) I started it as a songwriting message board called Searchlight and then Indie Nation in 1999-2001, I built up the membership massively, and then I moved the massive message board with the help of an online friend named Conner, to the location.
