Continuing Ed- Driver’s Ed 101

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

My quest for that “higher education”.

I left Dresden High School to pursue my music career full time and took the home schooling route. For the most part, it’s working out pretty good. Driver’s Ed is not part of the curriculum. According to my mom, they haven’t made enough nerve pills for her to take that on. Numerous friends and family members have offered to teach me to drive but, I’m pretty busy during the day and they’re not available at night so, learning to drive is something I just haven’t gotten around to. The day for my video crept up and I still had never once tried to drive at all.

Early morning, December 11th, Marcel made his way to my hometown for the shoot. While Scott McMahon and I were pulling hair, makeup and wardrobe together, my mechanic, David Atnip was busy getting my truck ready to crank up for the very first time. When we pulled in at his shop, he was just finishing putting in my back glass with my logo etched in it. What followed was sheer pandemonium:

Disclaimer: NO ANIMALS OR PEOPLE WERE KILLED IN THE MAKING OF THIS VIDEO (not for lack of opportunity- just sheer luck)

* consider that my solution to stop and go was to mash both pedals until something happened

* understand that pull up and get out of the truck, to me, does not mean put it in park unless you tell me where park is and that I need to do that

All in all, it was a lot of fun. No blood was shed. And now, I can kinda drive, a little. Most kids don’t learn to drive with a camera crew and a stylist there. But, a girl’s gotta look good when she cleans out ditches, right?

Enjoy,

Stormy

A Big Thank You And Behind The Scenes Video Coming Soon!

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

Getting my first video out in time to link it with my first mention in Country Weekly Magazine was something I will always remember. I want to thank all of you for the support you’ve shown by checking out the video and going over and downloading Sing This City Home.

In the next few days, I’ll be sharing some bonus footage from the shooting. I had never driven before that day. While the footage is hilarious, I think the producer, Marcel, who was manning the camera, would say it more- life threatening. You can watch me jump ditches backwards and almost run through the front door of The Keg because I didn’t realize I had to put the truck in park. I love my little truck that David Atnip has worked so hard to get running for me. If you notice, my good friend Chris even etched my logo in the rear window. My stylist, Scott McMahon, flew down from New York to be treated to a day of riding in the truck bed in 20 degree weather while I cleaned out half the ditches in Weakley County.

I can’t possibly thank everyone without leaving somebody out but, as always, The Keg was an awesome venue. Walon, Donny Wayne, Faraway, and Tim were great as my band, we sure missed Trent. Colt McGraw made a special effort to get here a day early while on military leave. Kevin Brinsfield helped Marcel all day. Mama Stella cooked and manned the phones. Mrs. Teresa showed up early to help. David Atnip and his son got my truck from location to location. And Mom, did all the worrying and running around setting up equipment. Thank you all!

It’s really hard for an unsigned artist to get noticed today but I’ve had some great help in that area. I want to send a special thanks out to Nashville Hype, Country Weekly, The Country Start Page, Carrie News, Got Country, Nashville Gab, Country Music Pride, Urban Country Blog, Country Tattle Tale, MOG, Farce The Music, That Nashville Sound, Nashville Country Club, The Dresden Enterprise, McKenzie Banner, Weakley County Press, and The Fulton Leader for all the coverage you have put out there.

More soon…

Love,

Stormy
