I just thought I would share a wild experience. My wife and I semi-watch The Voice. We catch what we catch of it. One guy kind of looked familiar but I didn't think too much of it.

As it turns out I've very briefly talked with him twice! John Holiday is a professor at a small college near me, Lawrence University. It's under 2,500 students. I have taken several drone shots for them. During one of the shoots he happened to be out there and chatted with me a little bit. He said he was a professor there and went right in to asking questions about the drone and flying. Really nice guy. It was much of a convo though because I was flying at the time.

The next time I was at the music store that is very near the campus, it's about 5 miles from us. I was with my daughter getting flute music for her. He walked up and said "Hey! Aren't you the drone guy?" and that sparked a short conversation where he mentioned he was a professor of voice, and encourage my daughter. Again, really nice guy.

I did not figure out until this week that that was him on The Voice finals! I'm not going to pretend to KNOW him; but talent is all around us. There sure are a lot of talented people out there. Pretty wild!

That's neat. Too bad he didn't win, he had the voice with the most range on the show.

Ben Allen lives just up the street from where I am and made the the top ten. His band plays all the places I used to play. It’s quite a coincidence that we both had neighbors on the show. You’re right there are a lot of talented people out there.

It's pretty crazy how small the world is indeed.

Tom-I really like the tone of Ben's voice.

I enjoy these types of stories as well. I think all of us song writers like a good story. wink
