The Mississippian attedned at Europes largest Country Music Fair in January, benefit galas where he met the princess of Hohenzollern and various charity shows and trips, such as the trip to spain where he visited a dolphin therapy center fot handicaped children. One of the Hightlights was the plan to attend at the "Jamboree on the Mountain" in Monteagle, TN (USA) in May 2005 as the only german artist, but due to business changes the US trips had to be cancelled.

To be nominated for five awards at the Texas River Best Of Country awards was a special honor for the Mississippian - winners will be announced on the award show in August in Texas, USA. Being a radio DJ since September 2004 he also was nominated for DJ Of The Year 2005.

Looking back on a success full year since The Mississippian started again in music business, he met lot of wonderful people and made lot of new contacts such as writers Col. Robert Morris, Kathy Wedvik, Dixie Vornbrock, Derek McCorkell, Everett Corbin, Yvonne DeVaney, Don Smith and Wolfgang Hamann, artists Ernie Ashworth, Joe Berry, Bill Turner, Becky Hobbs, Vernon Oxford, Jose Daniel, Paul and Helen Mateki and Mandy Strobel, fine producers like James Simmons and Col. Buster Doss, Don Jones and much more... there are so many to list, not to forget all the german writers and artists. He made friends and collaborations from Germany, to Austria, Netherlands, England, Scotland, Ireland, Sweden, Australia, USA, Canada and even Brazil.

The Mississippian will more focus on his songwriting side in future, plans and new collaboration are made and much more will be made, so if you're looking for new songs this might be just the right place for you!

BTW: since April 2004 an official german Mississippian fanclub is established - who knows maybe there will be inetrnational fanclubs soon? Feel free to contact the Missisisppian on that issue!
