"Goodness Grows In North Carolina” Meet EF OCCASIONS A "Where Friends Friends” I'm sure you've heard the old saying, "sometimes it pays to act stupid.” No onc has ever accused mc of acting. Some of us don't know what's going on, and we like it that way. I have scen folks get out of a lot of work by pretending their bread wasn't done. I made my first visit to Nashville - about a hundred years ago, or so it seems. Like I said, "I ain't ncver claimed to be sane.” Believe it or not, I didn't know as much then as I do now. I caught a dog and rode it to the old Greyhound bus station not too far from Broadway, which was known as skid row. Across the road was the Bell Motel. It was nothing fancy but it beat the heck out of an alley down on Broadway. I had some songs to pitch. I used to walk from the motel all the way over to 16th Avenue, which was known as Music Row. That's a pretty good hop. I invaded the first publishing company I came to on my first visit to 16th. T had no idea you were supposed to make an appointment first. Another misconception I had was that all those cats were down home. Some were. As I walked into the building, I could see straight ahead a room with some cats listening to a tape, the old reel kind. Cassettes weren't on the market. The lady out front said, "Can I help you?" I said, "N. I need to see those folks back there." I was almost in the room when I heard her say, "You can't go in there." She seemed upset. Those men listened to my songs, They didn't want them but they did take time for me. I did the same thing every time I could find some- one in the different companies with a tape recorder. I didn't pay the re- ceptionist any attention. I didn't know any better. That wouldn't happen today. They'd have you carted out. There's one incident I remember well. I went into an old house which was re-done and still held its charm. There was this fat cat, just like you hear about, chewing on a stoker and ready to show me how important he was. He put onc of my songs on the recorder. About a third into it, another big wheel came in. They began to talk. I reached over and turned the tape off. The fat man almost swallowed his left ear. He look at me in disbe- lief. I said, "You don't want to hear my song. You cant’ do that and run your mouth at the same time." Both It's a boy for Gambles Mr. and Mrs. John M.

At the time, I didn't think it was a big decal. Years later, any, had cver done that. The thing that made me mad, and still does, is that those fat cats were mostly lawyers or business men and they're going to tell you what's wrong with your song. They didn't even know as much about song writing as a hog knows about Sunday. There are, of course, many tal- ented people who work for differ- ent companies. I always got the duds. They knew I just got off the turnip truck. I think half of them I realized that not many people, if had been driving it.
