Here are some sketches I made while attending a music event in May, in Nashville -- It was the Objective Sessions, an opportunity to learn about the goals of The Extreme Tour, a music tour that reaches out with free music concerts that bring a positive message. There were also great opportunities to learn and develop as a music artist. I am a songwriter, and found these four-day sessions to be very helpful and inspiring. Enroute, on the plane . . . This was an Air B&B; there were musical instruments all over the place . . . This event is entirely run by volunteers! Here are a few of them getting ready for sign-in. Rocking out with Sideways Derby, one of the music groups who played in the evening showcase. There is a big banner on the stage . . . a backdrop for the speakers and other participants. Royal Ruckus is a rapper. His stage partner is a little dog named Olivia. Performers were critiqued by a music industry panel. Another Air B&B -- close to downtown, where the event was held. A workshop speaker with his glasses prop . . . and another industry panel, doing Q and A Everyone was singing together at the start of this meeting in a school. You better not whine at Puckett's -- there is a $5 fine. This grocery store and restaurant was the place for an after-party. What could be more fun than an open mic? This is inside Puckett's. There was an interesting plant in the window-- maybe a cactus? -- at this Air B&B. I sat across from this person, waiting to get on the plane to go back home.
