BIG BIG BIG BIG NEWS!

Well, this is gonna be one hell of an entry! lol!

I haven't updated in a while. Truth is, I didn't know where to start!

I'll wrap it in a nutshell. I ended my relationship as I felt we've just grown so far apart. We literally aren't the same people to each other anymore, but we're still friends so it's ok.

Secondly, I went to Manchester last week to stay with some friends. We went out and I met 'Lonnie Gordon' briefly. Her record producer is also a friend of mine, but I'd never really thought about letting him hear one of my songs. Well, one of my friends randomly played him one of my songs, and I can't believe his reaction. He loved it. As soon as it ended, he asked me 'Stevie, how do you fancy a trip to London to record for real?'. I almost fell off my chair with excitement!

I think I have to be in London this weekend to stay with him and Lonnie, but I'm still waiting for confirmation. He's recently brought Lonnie out of retirement and she's been touring the UK. Ironic thing is, I was in Blackpool on holiday a few weeks ago, and Lonnie and Deano were in the club next door to the one I was in, and I never even knew it!

Also (and this excites me even more), the guy who produced '9 to 5' for Dolly Parton is writing me a song that suits my voice! HOW INSANE IS THAT?! I know, it sounds ridiculous, but it's true..lol!

I'll be honest, I had no idea who Lonnie Gordon was when I met her, so I checked her out online, and I actually like some of her stuff. This video is probably my fave!



The audio's a bit quiet on this, but it's the best one I could get. Wish me luck guys.... Hope all's well out there. Missed you all lately..:-(

See, I told you one day soon the right person will come along and you'd be famous. When the CD is made you can send me my autographed copy please, lol. I'm serious, your voice rocks, and I could listen to you sing all day. Have you thought about an album cover? A picture of you with a nice back ground of scenery? OMG, I am so excited for you.

You shouldn't really be surprised, old mate, isn't this what you've made your goal in life for now?  So of course things will work your way once you put all you've got out there, for the right people to notice.  I'm excited for you too!  CATHY
