Hi Jim, I thought I join your group and start a buzz . How it living in Nashville ?

  I have not been there and herd there is a ton of poor people there , I think the the same about most places now with the 1% . People followed a false God (money) and thought the American dream was having more , and that it would somehow save them from the lonely feeling that they have, and that the filling of their pockets would also fill their soul.

 I have seen it first hand in my stepfather , he took from every person he could to get that first Million, starting with my mothers money from my real dads death , and said to her that the land he would buy would be her sons in the future . Well the land became valuable as the years went by , and he became a taker,and a manipulator , out to profit from his every move. 

  One day he said to me in a slip of the tung , " I'm Broke"  , and that starting thinking after seeing his income statements in the back seat of the car for that year , it was $ 587,000 bucks . Turns out he bought more land, and houses so the tax man would not get his cut. I found out then , that when a million dollar man gets down to $ 999,999.99  that they hurt inside , do to the fact they are no longer a millionaire .

 His world was numbers, and wanting more numbers was his sin. I am saying this because, we as artist are checking our numbers all day long, waiting for those likes ,shares ,and re-tweets and wanting more followers. Even though it is not cash, It is , and has affected me.

 When I get a like on a post of a song , it gives me a little buzz, but thats it , it goes away quick , I myself think , its the word ( want ) that hurts folks the most , now when I hear myself say , ( I want ) I am reminded that ' I shall not want '  and  that we get everything we truly need already , thats why Im here, at this group . You needed a post.  Happy Trails to you and your family . Ken
