In 2015 I won the Galaxy of Stars® Songwriting Contest at the Nebraska State Fair, which is produced by Miss Wynne Adams of Nashville. This was probably the most exciting thing that has happened to me as far as songwriting goes. I am a Coordinator for the Nebraska Chapter of the NSAI (Nashville Songwriters Association International) based in Nashville, so I feel this was a big boost in the arm for me in trying to get local writers to join this wonderful group. The
biggest highlight in winning this contest for me was getting 4 hours of recording time at Warehouse Productions in Omaha. I had heard a lot of great things about Tom Ware and was truly impressed with everything he did in getting the song recorded that I wrote. He had a number of great ideas and was so patient. I would highly recommend Tom and I am very thankful to Wynne for the Galaxy of Stars® and all she does to make dreams come true for a lot of talented people, especially our NSAI chapter. ~ Robert M. DeBusk (Stage Name Bobby Miles)
