I just read an article about Pat Green, in which he talked about his very spontaneous lifestyle, his party attitude, and his ability to keep it all in check for his family and his future.

I applaud Pat Green for his honesty -- in this article, and in his songwriting.

That's why I'M a Pat Green fan...

We went on a VERY spontaneous road trip this weekend.

The states we visited in 2 days:

• South Carolina
  
• North Carolina
  
• Georgia
  
• East Tennessee
  

And these guys went with us: Pat Green (Lucky Ones CD), the Warren Brothers (Barely Famous Hits) and Johnny Reid (Born to Roll).

Following is a HUGE collection of Pat Green photos taken "live" in concert at The Trap in Nashville, Tennessee!

First, some Pat Green facts:

I long for the day that it becomes commonplace to see and hear the name of the songwriter, in addition to the singer on all music radio and video channels!

Country Music video channels -- like CMT and GAC -- currently include the name of the songwriter next to the singer for every video played. But other video channels -- like MTV and VH1 -- have yet to follow suit. And there isn't ONE radio station around that gives props to the songwriter when their song is played.

Maybe it's because I'm from Nashville and I "know" a lot of the songwriters who pen many of today's hits (mostly Country; some Pop)... but I find myself getting more and more frustrated with "the system" each time I hear a new tune on the radio, and I'm left wondering who might have written that particular song. Much to my dismay, the DJ usually zips right into another song -- OFTEN times mentioning the singer, but NEVER mentioning the writer!

When it comes to music, we're all across the board. But one thing's for sure: We're always looking for new singers and songwriters to become acquainted with!

Here's an eclectic listing of the concerts we've been to, our favorite singers and songwriters, and the reasons we're glad to live in Nashville - Music City USA.
