Songwriters Get Their Own Study Hall

Sometimes a songwriter needs more than impromptu inspiration to write a song. Sometimes a songwriter needs to absorb some of the essence of genius that a legend has imprinted upon something tangible. A songwriter’s ‘Oz’ has been created in a new room dedicated to the songwriting prowess of Mel Tillis. Universal Music Publishing Group has constructed a room of Mel Tillis’ memorabilia to inspire songwriters. Included in the room is a framed handwritten copy of “Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love To Town.” Mel Tillis and his family were present for the dedication of the room. Mel has written songs for such country music giants as Kenny Rogers, Waylon Jennings, Bobby Bare, and Alison Krauss.
For some reason I see a long line of songwriters stretched out, and somebody knocking on the door to this room like on a bathroom door, saying are you done yet?
