Always seemed a little pretentious, the thought of a web address with my name in it containing photos of me, my dog, and links to sites everyone already knows about (&#8220;Hey, have you seen this new thing called Google?&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p>This songwriting thing is moving along pretty well, though. I figured it was only a matter of time before I gave in and stuck my name on a site, positioned next to a photo of me posing pensively with my guitar. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m camping in Pt. Reyes a month or so ago and I meet this guy named Bill Moore from &#8220;Drive!&#8221; magazine. I asked if he&#8217;s every test driven a Hummer. Then my wife Cyndy said, &#8220;play him your SUV song&#8221;. By campfire, I quietly strum the words to <a href=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/music\/songs\/Good%20God%20Man%20(clip).mp3\">&#8220;Good God Man How Big a Car Do You Need?&#8221;<\/a>. Bill loves it and wants to do a story on the song. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s your web site?&#8221;, Bill asks. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Uhm&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So here we go. <\/p>\n<p>The SUV song, along with two other tunes, is available on &#8220;Three Tales&#8221; a 3-song EP I&#8217;ve put together. Full CD coming very soon. See the <a href=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/music\/index.html\">Music<\/a> page for more details.<\/p>\n<p>The whole story from Drive! magazine is on the <a href=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/news\/index.html\">News<\/a> page. <\/p>\n<p>And yeah, that&#8217;s a photo of my dog. Picture of me posing pensively with my guitar? I suppose it&#8217;s only a matter of time. <\/p>\n<p><center><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/\">Home<\/a><\/b><\/center><\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.michaelgaither.com%2Fhome%2Fme_dot_com%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;&amp;width=800&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:800px;height:30px;margin-top:5px;\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been resisting the whole me.com thing for years.
