Thank You!
One purpose of my placing a page on MySpace for Paragon Artists was to feature music of artists that I believe in and have a working relationship with.
If you would like information on booking Don Derby for your event or night club you can contact me directly. If you would like information on any of the other featured artists I can put you in contact directly with them or their representation.
My business card
Thanks for listening to, and supproting these great artists.
Please note... Paragon Artists Management does not necessarily manage/represent the feature artists.
Featured Artists:
Song number 1: Don Derby ~ Man in the Mirror
The following two links are for Don Derby a talented young songwriter and performer. I have had the pleasure of becoming his friend and the privilege of becoming his personal manager. Keep your eyes and ears wide open for this guy... He is going to be a star...
Literally hundreds of songwriters come through my office and play their music. It's work for me... until Don comes by with a new song. Then I remember why I am in Nashville.

Song number 2: Lori Ann ~ If I HAd You
Have you heard that great things come in small packages... In this case that saying is absolutely true. Lori Ann was recently voted Favorite New Female Vocalist on NewCountryStar.com. I have had the pleasure of meeting Lori Ann, and after my first meeting with her I was impressed. I love this song, and I think you will to. If you are ever in the St. Augustine FL. area try to catch a show from this local favorite.

Sounds Like: Everyone always had nice things to say about the quotes I posted on my personal profile... Well here they are..."When one door closes another door opens; but we do often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us." ~Alexander Graham Bell"Don't be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends." ~Anonymous"The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls a butterfly." ~Anonymous"Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you." ~Wayne Dyer"Typically at the bottom you don't have a right turn or a left turn... You have an upturn." ~Elden R. Gillard II (Me)"Whatever the soul know how to seek, it cannot fail to obtain." ~Margret Fuller"We must accept truth, even if it changes our point of view." ~George Sand"We must be the change we wish to see in the world." ~Mahatma Gandhi"What you can do, or dream you can do, begin it; boldness has genius, power and magic in it." ~Johann von Goethe"The best way to get rich is by helping others get rich themselves." ~Zig Ziglar"People with goals succeed because they know where they are going... It's as simple as that." ~Earl Nightingale"The secret to productive goal setting is in establishing clearly defined goals, writing them down and then focusing on them several times a day with words, pictures and emotions as if we've already achieved them." ~Denis Waitley"The height of your accomplishments will equal the depth of your convictions." ~William F. Scolavino"There is one quality that one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it." ~Napoleon Hill"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit." ~Aristotle"We should rather examine, who is better learned, than who is more learned." ~Michel Eyquem de Montaigne"A friend is one before whom I may think aloud." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson"Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do." ~Goethe
