![]() ![]() It eclipsed Top 40 on the US Music Row Country chart as did my second single "Smooth Sailing" in 2019. I released my first radio single "Something Blue" in 2018. I kept a busy music schedule playing over a 100 dates a year. I bounced back and forth between Texas and Nashville. ![]() I spent my time there writing songs, recording, and making friends. I learned I needed good songs of my own so I saved my money and headed to Nashville. The tour gave me a little bit of music know how and a lot of commitment to pursue music as a career. I also found people liked my music the way they did in Texas. Night after night I watched Granger and his team work their tails off to give their audience a great show. Along the way, I met hard-core country music fans from the beaches of SoCal to the snowy mountains in Denver. I’d never seen that many elk or stars before. I made some great memories like a night in Montana when I had to stop for 20 minutes to let a herd of elk cross the highway. A lot of times I would drive through the night after the show. I drove 7,000 miles with my guitar, a glock, and my truck bed full of t-shirts. In 2015, I toured as the opening act of the Yee Yee Nation tour with Granger Smith. This is where I first started writing my own songs. Working on the ranch gave me a lot of alone time to think. I played lots of dance halls and events across Texas. I’d get up early and work at the wildlife ranch, then practice with my band at night. I also worked on a hunting ranch, filling feeders and trapping hogs. ![]() I learned what songs the audience loved and how to play them. Over the next few years I opened for many of the Texas and Nashville artists who came through. Two days later I opened for a great band in front of a crowd of college kids. I sang an open mic at a dancehall in a nearby town. Before long, my friends were asking me to play my guitar at bonfires and get togethers. I’d be the one singing along to the radio cruising with my friends. I don’t know how you can ask for much more than that… Growing up I wore out a lot of boots, waders, fishing reels, and truck tires hunting deer at my family’s ranch, ducks in the sloughs, and fishing with my buddies. I loved playing sports but I loved hunting and fishing even more. I grew up with my younger brother and two parents who loved us. I was born and raised in the Piney Woods of deep East Texas. My name is Sam Shupak and this is my story … Adobe dropping support in advance of kit kat has a lot to do with the state of things today.Love the life you live… Live the life you love. ![]() Please read the mobile section of the Adobe flash road map ( ) before continuing to bash samsung and Google about lack of support. I know it's hard to come to grips with given the fact that OEMs seem to modify android heavily with their skinned versions but they don't have as much influence on how well another 3rd party application works on their device as one may think, let alone one that has been out of production for quite some time. Don't get me wrong, flash is on my tablet as is a secondary browser but I only use said software when I must for everything else I use Chrome and other applications that don't rely on flash. Flash video would also drain battery like crazy when compared to HTML5. It never worked well on mobile platforms because too much room for error was left for content developers to craft things that wouldn't work on phones and tablets. The fact that people struggle to get it going should be a testament to why support for it has been killed, not the other way around. Flash support was abandoned for good reason, it's not Google's product and it sucks. I wish ESPN would move away from flash sooner. ![]()
