One of the benefits of being a huge record producer like myself with many credits and awards to set me apart from the pack is the fact that I have access to important and influential people

Immediately after the leader of our nation kissed the Pope good-bye he apparently jumped on Air Force One and headed to Nashville. I was one of the fortunate elite to be able to provide advice and guidance in his personal artistic aspirations. It seems that he would like to record a record and tour for humanitarian efforts after he leaves office next year. He mentioned that he felt with proper glasses he would have the same sort of cool as Bono. I will be one of a couple of writer/producers who will compose and produce the material for this project.

It's odd how we find ourselves in these places. The most powerful man in the world will be singing into a microphone and I will be the one deciding whether it has the right feeling. I wonder sometimes how these things happen but then again I've grown to expect it. We should all expect to write and produce for presidents one day. The thing that is confusing to me (and you can keep this in your thoughts and prayers) is what this means for my career. Is this a good thing? What if he can't sing? What if Laura actually has a lot of attitude and the air of grace that she portrays so well is just a sham? How will I concentrate and be objective with two men in black suits and guns standing behind me? I guess the biggest question is WHY for goodness sakes do I have to have a sniper hide on my roof? It's all very disoncerting.

We all have to follow God into whatever strange paths He guides us down and I intend to do just that. You are all a very important part of that. The President sends his love a greetings your way and since I was in India when it was approprate to do this properly, April Fools. This is me with Presidential impersonator John Morgan. It's about as surreal as all of GMA week,

Onward Comrades,
