"To write with Aaron Barker and Dean Dillon and Scotty Emereck, man, sometimes you just have to sit back and listen."

It was at Country in the Rockies when Tom was emceeing, announcing and doing the auction that BMI's Senior Vice President Roger Sovine approached Tom and said 'anyone who can announce like that can write lyrics. I want you to write me 5 songs.'

Tom remembers asking Roger, "what do you want me to write about?" Roger responded with one word,' love.' "Ok, no problem," said Tom, "I have a few years of experience there." And that was the beginning.
