I don't know exactly how you get appointments to write with hit songwriters in Nashville, but I'm guessing you don't just call up a legend like Dean Dillon and pencil something in the way you do with a dentist or hair stylist. You probably have to know somebody, and more importantly, be on the verge of becoming Somebody. So this morning I saw Josh Thompson's tweet that said, "Writin with Dean Dillon today. He's a legend in the writing world, I've waited for this day for a long time." That means something. That a guy like Dillon who has an extremely exhaustive list of hits he's penned for George Strait, Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith and more, would be willing to spend some time with Thompson. And I cannot wait to hear what the two of them come up with.
