Although I did not win the Texas State Songwriter’s Championship, I had a great time trying. Big thanks to everyone who attended and reached out to me. The support was tremendous and very much appreciated.

Thank you to the folks who organized the event and to Bronson Louis who performed audio magic while snapping this cool photo. Looking forward to next year!

Hey, this is Tom, your host, and we're back with another live broadcast in the middle of our 25 Days of Christmas podcast series. Today, we have a special guest, Mark Taylor, who has overcome pancreatic cancer. Mark expresses his gratitude for being back on the show and mentions how he and Tom had recently connected after a marathon.

Tom recalls the story Mark shared about regretting not doing a podcast with Way Jennings, and Nicole informed him that Mark had actually written a song with Way. Mark elaborates on the experience of writing a song for a movie with Way Jennings and how it turned into a successful track, garnering half a million spins on platforms like Spotify.

The conversation shifts to Mark's recent cover of "Please Come Home for Christmas." Mark shares his love for the Eagles and how the song has been a favorite since childhood. He details the spontaneous decision to record the Christmas song on Halloween, complete with costumes. The quick turnaround from recording to release before Black Friday was an exciting challenge.

They discuss Mark's involvement with String Signature Whiskey, a collaboration that started about a year ago. Mark shares that the whiskey is honey-infused bourbon and talks about the journey of creating and promoting the product.

Tom moves on to discuss Mark's hectic year, touring, and the incredible experiences he's had. Mark expresses gratitude for the opportunities, the chance to meet people all over the country, and the joy of working with his band, which includes friends from high school.

Reflecting on the year, Mark emphasizes how grateful he is for the incredible experiences, meeting new people, and the chance to make music for a living. He mentions a few upcoming shows, including one at the Bluebird Cafe with Jay Knowles.

As they talk about plans for the holidays, Mark mentions taking a short break, spending time with family, and playing a few shows before gearing up for the next year's tour, which is already filling up with bookings.

The interview ends with a discussion about Mark's preference for the movie "Elf" as a must-see Christmas film. He shares a tradition of watching it every year with family, making it a special movie for him.
