James Leo Oliver - Marshall, Michigan

James Leo Oliver is the NSAI coordinator for the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek, Michigan chapter. I had a chance to meet several members of his chapter during the course of the visit and I was impressed by the level of cross-collaborations going on.

We had a productive co-writing session and managed to finish a song called "The Heart Part is the Hard Part" - and we were able to go to a studio the next day and knock out a full demo mix, working with an amazing guy by name of Greg Brayton.

Jim shared a touching song called "God Has His Hand In It" - written for his son Ian. He also had a lot of great thoughts to share in his interview.
