Spend two intensive days with me and learn, first hand, what it's like to be a professional songwriter and publisher. Brian Kurth of Vocation Vacations has really come up with a remarkable way to "test drive" your "dream job".
| "Eye-opening, fantastic! What a great experience! Being with Steve for the vacation was about as good as you can get if songwriting is your thing. I learned how to write better songs, and it was great to witness how a real master songwriter relates to melody, ideas, and lyrics. I'd highly recommend it! He takes you right up to the bar and over it." -Larry Center, Nashville, Tennessee | STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
