Among the tools of the trade are an Epiphone Texan, Excellente, Frontier, EJ-200 (the Elvis J-200) and, of course, a Songwriter model.

The Epis are also "on call" for any impromptu pitch sessions of new and un-demoed songs.

Opryland Music is not a publishing company aimed at supplying musical productions for the recently defunct Opryland theme park. It is one of Nashville's major music publishers, with a catalog that includes all the classics in the old Acuff-Rose catalog.

Among Opryland's current this are "The Rest Of Mine" by Trace Adkins, written by Adkins and Kenny Beard; "Something That We Do" by Clint Black, written by Black and Skip Ewing; and "I Wanna Fall In Love" by Lila McCann, written by Mark Spiro and Buddy Brock.
