He is currently writing a book entitled “Getting Past the Past”, which will include a section called “Smashville – how I worked for 20 years in Nashville, only to be cheated by the music world monsters” to illustrate how daunting the music world appears from the outside as streaming services steal and make money of the hard work of others; Gus is working with Christian Faith Publishing, the world’s largest Christian publishing firm. Gus has songs, “Mom’s Blue Envelope” and “Real Men Do Cry” on musical platforms, but the songs are not featured on any playlists.
