"I don't think I would be the writer I have become if it weren't for John DeFoore. He encouraged me to say things I believe in through music. He is truly a hero in my eyes and an inspiration to me."
                                                 -Miranda Lambert

"John was my Musical Papa and my Songwriting Guru."
                                                   -Michelle Shocked


Though Michelle said she doesn't remember her first song, I remember the hook line. When she was 17 years old she wrote "I'm just an early morning victim of some late night cowboy's lines."

I knew she was going to be a great writer!
