Hey David,

You don't know me but my name is Danielle. My mother knows you and your mom. She worked with your mom at Volunteers of America in BR. Patti Fugler is her name. She is actually the reason I became a fan of yours. I wanted to tell you and your wife that I have much respect for yall and what all yall do for each other. It's great at how much yall communicate with one another about your music career. My husband plays in band and I know hard sometimes things can get. He has been playing in a band for about 5 years now, and like everybody he has had his ups and downs with it. He even has lost keyboard player in a car accident last year. He hopes to make it big one day. He wants to go very far with it. But living in the state of Louisiana you're real lucky if you get discovered by someone. Every time we watch the show together he makes sure to point out to me that you have a wife there with you and yalls new babygirl. We have actually 3 kids together and been married for about 4 years now. I support him as much as I can and love him very dearly. As sad as it may sound our family is what is keeping him from going far because we have both decided that we don't want our kids to grow up on some tour bus. That is if something big came out of all of this. But things change. What is sad is that he is very, very, very, good at what he does and has the biggest passion for music more than anyone I have ever known. He would stand out in the pooring rain for free if you told him that he had to even if no one was around to hear him if all he got to do is play is guitar and sing.

That's why I am very happy for you and your wife. I believe that what your wife does for you is what a wife should do for the one she truely loves. I wish that right now I could do the same for my husband with his music career. But some times in life for people it's harder to take that next step up. Especially if you have bigger dreams for your kids than just growing up in a musicians life always having to travel and daddy being gone away from home. I think that is what is my biggest fear. Maybe if we didn't have 3 kids and just 1 then we would have already let for Nashville. But all of those decisions will change as they get older. Right now I just pray that everything yall have ever dreamed of comes true in life with music. You are really good. You deserve to win and no matter how this contest turns out someone will pick you up. You don't have to worry about that. I wish you the best of luck. I hope that you win and I've been voting for you. If you have any suggestions for me that can help my husband in the future to get where he wants to be please let me. Thank you.


God Bless,
Hope to here from you,
Danielle
