On Tuesday I got a message on YouTube that Glen Hansard had givin me props during their show at the Byham Theater in Pittsburgh, PA for my cover of “High Hope”.  I didn’t have any evidence and thought maybe someone was pulling my chain.  However, early Wednesday morning I got about 8 more messages from people that were at The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN show saying he mentioned me again.

When I look back, some of these are kind of questionable… but I won’t make any apologies..

(If you’re a guitar player, and haven’t heard either Monte Montgomery album, go out and get one)

Glen Hansard is the star of the motion picture ONCE. Very big day for me.

It is an indepandant film about a singer/songwriter in Europe. Probably one of the best soundtracks ever.

also, it was pretty cool to wake up this morning and see that both David Choi and Chris Cendana (two very popular artists in the YouTube community) gave this cover song 5 stars.
