Centered in and on Nashville's glamorous country music business, The Early Days includes many exclusive, informative, and entertaining stories intertwining much history and many legends of country music!

    This book reads almost like a "who's who/how to" as musician/author Terry Karl Wendt narrates The Early Days working with noted entertainers such as Jimmy C. Newman, Wade Hayes, members of Restless Heart, Merle Haggard, Cleve Francis, Jeannie Pruett, Kenny Chesney, Jo Dee Messina, Billy Walker, Daryl Singletary, Jeannie C. Riley, Ty Herndon, Mike Snider, Carl Perkins, Ken Mellons, members of Diamond Rio, the Lynn's, members of the Charlie Daniels Band and Sawyer Brown, Johnny Lee, Roy Acuff, Minnie Pearl, Mac Wiseman, and Shania Twain... among many others!

    As one becomes involved in reading this heartrending story of faith and evolution of spirit it quickly becomes apparent just how much persistence and dedication is necessary to become successful in "not always so glamorous" Nashville.   With unique detail Wendt explains from "A" to "Z" each area of the professional music business all the while drawing from situations and circumstances that only a musician or member very close to an entertainer would have experienced!   Always sizing the positive, Wendt talks about his "roller coaster" life happenings as if he were sitting with you in your living room.    This story is not only believable, but you get the feeling much of the time as if you are actually standing right there with Wendt and the others!

    In conclusion, author Terry Karl Wendt reveals some pain and suffering due to the Nashville Juvenile Court "kidnapping" his firstborn son in September 1997 as being the catalyst for his writing The Early Days.   During the three years of writing and publishing his autobiography, enduring financial and emotional poverty, always believing in God's ultimate plan for their lives Wendt and his family have faithfully pushed on!   (Things are often not as they seem - as it is even harder to judge a book by its cover.)
