Many of us remember the great photos POTN's own Dwight McCann has done of Taylor Swift's shows. Since then, she apparently moved to Nashville.

While watching CMT Crossroads today, I thought I recognized a name from previous communications regarding my photography... So I googled it and here is what I find:

It started like this:
...The previous year, I did an extensive slide show featured on Paul Sidoti's band "Tequila Sunrise" at Penn's Peak, here in the Poconos of PA... My most recent opportunity to photograph the band fell through... I wondered why?... The band went on a long sabbatical, while Paul, joins Taylor Swift's band as the lead guitarist.

"A section of strings were placed stage right and the lights were doused with Swift on the edge of the catwalk accompanied by guitarists Grant Mickelson and Paul Sidoti, intricate picking was followed by Swift's sweet but solemn vocals rolling through lyrics drenched in heart break as the lights were lifted to reveal Elliot who picked up and carried the mood of the acoustically dark rhythm. The song was the band's newest contribution simply known as "Love," it comes off their latest album, "The Sparkle Room," in stores now."

Here are the POTN links to *Tequila Sunrise* from Penn's Peak, Jim Thorpe, PA.

Just some prominent news, from the industry...It's not every day that a musician is chosen as a lead guitarist, to a world wide celebrity that Taylor Swift has become... They are teaming up to be young stars on the current and future scene.

And, the awesome pictures Dwight has posted of Taylor Swift, here in the past... and the pics I have of Paul Sidoti might interest fans of Country music...

Paul's band "Tequila Sunrise" was based out of Nashville... and Taylor Swift moved there recently... That's probably why Dwight doesn't cover her performances at this this time.

It's good to give young talent a chance to progress... and I'm confident, from Paul's perspective, he's pleased with the opportunity.
