Want to understand your musical heroes better? Search no more. This is the place!
Season two of the My Top Records podcast starts today. We've got Mitch Ballard for your listening pleasure. Mitch moved from Nashville to Austin a couple few years ago to start the BMI office. This office reminds me why Austin is Austin. Organizations like HAAM and SIMS. No other city has such a focus on their artistic integrity. Makes me proud to be a 7th generation Texan.
Before Mitch opened the BMI office here in Austin, he’d been called the Swiss Army Knife of the country music business. He started off by turning down a music scholarship to North Texas because he didn’t really want to play the trumpet anymore. He was a tour manager for BJ Thomas for 8 years. He owned a website building company for musicians and then an LED concert company. Yeah, he knows the music biz. I love podcasts like this on because I don’t really have to talk. I threatened to trash my Encyclopedia of Country music. What would I need that for when I can just call Mitch?
