There is about a 50/50 chance that I will meet Danielle Bradbery TOMORROW. The weather may have caused a cancellation, but as of Friday (There was no work Mon-Today) she was scheduled to be using my classroom and performing for students. Anybody want to help me write something - and on the quick - knowing it's a long-shot that I could get the song into her hands.
If you go to the Youtube source, you'll see a list of the songs she did when she won season four of "The Voice" so you have an idea of what her genre is:
Can't promise a thing, but writing a song ain't ever a bad thing. If we do it, we gotta move fast and I tend to write slowly.

Wow, can a Country Bro actually be . . . a girl? This development puts a twist on things, for sure. Your example song violates most, if not all, of the "9 Things", um, thing. Or is it a List of Things always covered by a Country Bro lyric? Now I am confused. What a thing to be!
Anyway, good luck on getting a listen, or song-in-hand. You never know when opportunity will raise it's pretty little head, painted-on jeans, and all.

I am not very pushy, so it would have to be... meant to be.

I hope she will have some success. I like her sound. I got news about an hour ago that she will be there tomorrow, so it's a pretty safe bet I'll be meeting her. But, yeah... it would definitely be tough to get a song to her, tougher yet to have that develop into something, and even tougher since I tend to clam up in those situations.
On a side note, I'm depressed as heck because, listening through her music, I came across a song, "I want Crazy." And sad to say it's a lot like one of my better tunes, "Saving All My Crazy." Pretty sure it's close enough to ruin the future for that one.
On the bright side, I guess I have a new one about 2/3 done. Probably won't have it in time for tomorrow, but it's something.

why not write it on a piece of paper and give it to her as she leaves after breakfast.

There's nothing worse than writing a song that you like and then someone comes out with the same exact title. It means yours is basically dead. I had a song called "You Don't Know Her Like I Do" from about 6 years ago. Josh Gracin actually cut it, it was on his record, mastered and ready to go...Then they bring in Brett James as a co-producer and guess what? He takes both of my songs off and puts his own on there. Imagine that. I've got a copy of the cut somewhere...Anyway - apparently in the last year or so, somebody went to number one with a song called, "You Don't Know Her Like I Do"...Fucking depressing.

She sounded great, but I was surprised she only did two songs. A guy with Disney interviewed her for about 25 mins. between the two numbers. I think the kids enjoyed it and that was the point. They all seemed to want to know the same thing, "If she is our age, why isn't she in school?" |

You go to school, so when you get out. you can get a job.
If you already have gotten a job, somehow schooling takes a back seat.
I know she's probably home schooled or as actors, schooled on the set.
But the money is always #1.

Yeah - kind of like that argument of whether a football player should leave for the draft after the junior year. Dude - you gotta take the money. What degree is gonna pay you a league minimum of $500k a year?
