How did we get from Point A. in January to Point L.A. in early March? Simple!
Two years ago, I auditioned for a show called "Gospel Dream" and made top 30, flew down to Nashville to sing n'that.
Two months later, Jedidiah and I got married.
One month after that, Jedidiah got on a flight to Dallas for an Advocare conference and en-route, met Jon Skaggs.
Jedidiah's call from the airport went something like this:
"BABE! You'll never guess who I sat with on the plane! A musician! Jon just got off tour with (a well-known CCM artist) in Alaska! I told him you were chosen top 30 for Gospel Dream by (a well-known CCM producer) and he gave me his card! He said to call him if we ever wanted to do something and he'd see what he could do!"From that point on, Jon's biz card stayed close to Jedidiah's chest through two moves and two local attempts at forming a band. He was just waiting for the right time to use it.
January 2011, Jedidiah calls Jon. Jon remembers Jedidiah. Jedidiah sends some of our music samples and we're in L.A. six weeks later!
Point A. in January to Point L.A. in March? All it took was a 2-year, on-and-off flight from SeaTac to LAX with layovers in Nashville, Dallas, Cashmere, Marriage, Band-land, and a minor train wreck in life-ville! Like I said - it was simple! ;)
