[@nicholekennedy362]

You and dad are just precious 💕

[@vincentvega9863]

You'll know this ready but thought I should just point out that your dad is an absolute legend. Yes, we've noticed too. Here's to you, Mr Morris!

[@nicholekennedy362]

Oh my gawd Mia you are SUPER AWESOME, I LOVE THIS 💕

[@chriscox3709]

Listen to your dad and stay on top of your school work. Once you graduate, I don't think you will need much of it if you choose to stay on your chosen path. You definately have talent. Rock on Mia🤘

[@miamorrismusic]

I've been going back & forth between homework and comments this afternoon. I know it's good advise - thanks :)

[@shanea.davis5259]

@@miamorrismusic sweet yes keep up the school work life's tough if that gig don't work.

[@cucinare-da-zero]

Thank your dad for driving you, and for imparting his musical taste as well.

[@miamorrismusic]

:) He's gotten a lot of nice comments passed on to him today. We were sitting in the truck in the rain waiting to play while I read and answered a bunch this afternoon. We just got back and I'm getting ready to sleep so I'll tell him some more tomorrow. Thanks for your support and encouragement :)

[@MidiboyGregg]

It's great your dad supports you in your musical endeavors. Make sure you always tell your dad how much you appreciate that. You are an amazing musician, young lady. Keep it up. I've been playing keyboards 46 years and I love it. Music is one of the best therapies for the soul! You also seem to have a great taste in music!

[@miamorrismusic]

I told him so last night after we got home from a show in Nashville. He's helped me with everything. Thank you for the encouragement and support :)

[@davelloyd-]

These are great. Good on you taking your homework. Education is mighty :)

[@miamorrismusic]

I'm really glad some folks like these, thanks. When I'm doing a lot of shows, it's all I can find time to show and it's quite a bit of fun to make and to have even..

[@mtrotter325]

Y'all are hilarious! Love that you have such a huge repertoire of music. It comes in so handy.

[@miamorrismusic]

Thanks for hunting down several videos and for taking the time to comment :)

[@boogerglob1234]

Thank you Mia for sharing your vlog! Thumbs up to your Dad for taking you to our gigs! Loved the look on your face Mia when your Dad mentioned only smart people bring their home work! LOL. Take care...

[@miamorrismusic]

...I don't have to like it, even when I know he's usually right. Thanks :)

[@therealdandyhouse]

I see you're finally gonna start weeding in the one who was always behind the camera!! Good stuff as always, Mia.

[@miamorrismusic]

Thank you. He tried to keep quiet but it just got a little boring so I started doing some questions and just generally harassing him..

[@monteblackwell4652]

Little sis, I know school kinda sucks but get it done and get out so you can enjoy yourself. I can tell your multitasking with music and school. Typical Mia, always playing different roles and wearing different hats. Keep it up my friend. Proud of you like a sister. BTW, I admire your father and his willingness to support what you love to do so much. I never had that but I love to witness it with other families. Thumbs up!!!!

[@miamorrismusic]

This is a very nice comment, thank you. My dad has made all the difference and I've been telling him.. lately :) Thank you for so much encouragement. I know it's good advice with school and I'm getting it done...

[@SuperDave21]

You've got the coolest parents ever Mia...! You're a very special young lady and so talented.... the stars aligned for you and I hope you take it as far as you can! Cheers from Oklahoma!! Go Girl!

[@miamorrismusic]

That's awful nice :) My folks are very supportive and I'm sure gonna try to do music for my life... I would love that :)

[@donaldmeuse4066]

I love the way you react to this song. It chers me up. Thx. dpm

[@markvarbero4302]

Love the vlog , Mia ! Keep em coming! So Talented!

[@miamorrismusic]

If folks like them, they work well with gigs. It's really difficult to get things done like practicing and recording when driving around to shows so this is all I can do. Hopefully, others agree. Thanks!

[@johnbinns6171]

Your so cool love watching your Vlogs X

[@miamorrismusic]

Nice! I'm very glad to hear that - thanks.

[@keithjerauld1607]

Your so talented your number one fan maybe some day I can get tickets to your live show can't wait

[@Spider9791]

You have such a great attitude toward life, well, except homework. One comment again, if you can include meeting the other musicians that would be awesome. Otherwise, your smile is infectious, keep working hard and don't forget to thank everyone who helps you in your journey, especially your dad. Cheers and God bless.

[@miamorrismusic]

That's a nice comment, thanks and I'll thank my dad in about 20 minutes when I see him. He'll like that. I've quickly realized that if I'm successful in this business, it going to because a lot of people decided to help. :)

[@boondocker1219]

YES my girl is back I'm happy to see another video :)

[@miamorrismusic]

I'm glad to hear some like this format. It's really all I can put together when I'm doing a lot of shows. Thanks for your support :)

[@Robert8455]

Fun road trip but a little scary how many accidents! Frostys are my favs especially when on they are on sale. Great times with dad too, I know he's proud!

[@miamorrismusic]

He's always been honest with me about my playing and how shows go so it's not always a gentle review but I've really come to appreciate when he says something was good. I also know only a tiny percentage of musicians can do it for their job but he's supportive of me trying as long as I'm really putting in the work.

[@keithpetersen560]

Another adventure to add to your resume. An educated musician is even better. Good job.

[@miamorrismusic]

:D I know you're right about an education. I think it just feels like a struggle because it's a new school year. I'll hopefully get adjusted. Thanks for the encouragement and for your support of my videos :)

[@AlizeeDefan]

You may not know it now, but the best thing that ever happened to you, was the fact, u have a SUPER COOL Dad Sadly..Not many kids will ever get that experience to feel like that. Count your blessings.

[@miamorrismusic]

I don't it for granted. He seems to like being a Dad :)

[@mohdfadzil5568]

from malaysia... love to see your sharing experiences. u hv a very supportive n nice dad

[@nickmoutos8308]

Keep drumming, keep singing, keep creating, keep vlogging....and....WEAR YOUR SEATBELT!!! Great Vlog Mia!

[@miamorrismusic]

:D That about sums it up. I will try - Thank you!

[@AlizeeDefan]

OMG I know exactly where u drove through in I-40 right between Nashville and Knoxville Yep where your seat belt and watch out for the other guy., Crazy drivers through there. Then you get to see the Beautiful smoky mountains soon and the tobacco fields

[@miamorrismusic]

It is a beautiful drive.

[@shawndrake1719]

that was fun I have to say i think you could be my daughters twin (except she doesn't play any instruments). the way you talk, your gestures and the way you interact with your dad is just like her. it's uncanny. keep up the good work kiddo!

[@miamorrismusic]

Thank you! I bet we'd get along well. Thanks for taking the time to comment & watch.

[@ntesslafan]

Glad that you had a fun trip and got to play. Fun video! Take care.

[@miamorrismusic]

Thank you and thanks for taking the time :D

[@michaeld_68]

great video Mia . Seem to me you have a great Dad (family) supporting you ! Keep it up and don't forget your homework lol .

[@miamorrismusic]

:D I brought it to the gig this weekend too.. Thank you and thanks for taking the time.

[@rsean3281]

I’m really digging “one more day” sounds great, good style. I’m really glad you have a parent that supports you on your journey. Seems like you are pursuing music for all the right reasons, so keep on rocking in the free world!

[@miamorrismusic]

I like your screen icon. Thanks for noticing that original. I wrote and recorded 4 that all sort of fall in with that same sort of style and I think I like it too. I'm pretty random with styles but that one felt more natural to the way I play. I've got to figure out how I want to release those but they will get on Spotify one way or another in the next couple of months. I really need and appreciate support on my originals so thanks again!

[@davebeck8973]

Well Mia I did forget to comment on last week's cover the fact that I loved all the covers, not just Low Rider... my apologie ! hey you two taking us along with these videos is great I'm enjoying them! So dad finally on video tell him we appreciate all he's doing for you also. He seems like a down to Earth dad. I love the promotions you did in this... very smart... I went to Wendy's the other day yes frosty 50 cent, I bought two lol. Glad you two had a good and safe trip. Keep up all the artistic music and writing, I really enjoy it all. Thanks to the both of you. Until next time many blessings to you and family. Dave Beck S.Carolina

[@miamorrismusic]

Hey Dave, thank you again for all of your encouragement. I hope these vlogs don't disappoint anyone. It's the only thing I can put together during the times when I've got a bunch of shows and songs to learn now that school is back in session. I've been keeping up on the writing as well but that doesn't make videos either. Thanks for your kind comment.

[@brucekaralash5054]

"Now that's a tastey burger!"hahaha! Keep the V-logs coming!

[@miamorrismusic]

..my parents would say that quote long before I knew anything about the movie :) My dad also told me the tomato joke about ketchup when I was little :)

[@hazeleyesohhhryyyon2031]

Wow..the same thing happened to me once too, the drummer was "m.i.a" n my good friend asked to step in last minute..had to learn 7 songs in one day just w drumsticks..air drum practice..lol..had drums at show..but I killed it n show was awesome..u rock..I also play guitar n bass too..like minds..👍

[@miamorrismusic]

Wow - does sound like, like minds. I need a lot of work on anything 6-string but I love it even when it sounds bad. Thank for the comment.

[@peterdrums1]

What a cool video. You have a great dad. Glad he is there for you to encourage and keep you safe. It's nice to have at least 1 parent who encourages the musical growth. My dad encouraged me to play professionally when I was 13 after listening to me playing on coffee cans for 2 years! So he bought me my first drum set (I had to forego my allowance for 1 year!). Never forgot what a blessing he was. I think your dad is the same. And I'm sure you cinched the gig, Mia.

[@miamorrismusic]

I'm glad you liked the video and my dad has done so much for me. My whole family is really supportive, and I play drums!? I know we ended up in Nashville in part because of the musical opportunities so I hope I can make the most of it. A lot of my friends want to get older quick but I like being the youngest and I like having my family around to look after me.

[@almightyantichrist]

Mia, you are awesome. Never stop being you. P.S. Tell your Dad, Ram Trucks rule.

[@miamorrismusic]

..he agrees :) Thank you very much for the support.

[@bigmack2262]

It sure looks like you had a great weekend. I feel like I’m missing out. You’re singing was absolutely great btw. This vid makes me appreciate what performers go through to get to a gig. At the next show I go to I’m going to clap even louder. Thanks Mia!

[@miamorrismusic]

Right on! The crowd that night was really laid back with the first band I played with but by the time I got back up there, they were wild. (may have had something to do with alcohol based on the looks of some of the dancing) Thank you!

[@SternLX]

8:00 That's funny... my daughters used to ask for stuff the same way when they were teens... "you know what would be perfect right now?"

[@miamorrismusic]

:D gotta go with what works...

[@mikewasko4852]

I like the vlogs ! ..I40 though the gorge in NC is beautiful..I haul jet engines for Boeing and GE from Durham NC to Peebles Ohio and also up to Everett WA so I go though the tunnels in the gorge often. As a truck driver for 30 years, I've traveled literally millions of miles,accident free and yes ,I wear my seat belt ,lol..as you sit in traffic and accidents, you can get a small taste of the truck driving world ,music and driving go hand and hand and poeple like you make our day a lot better. I dont think I'd still be a mentally stable person with out my Sirius radio and you tube ..

[@miamorrismusic]

I agree, it really is so pretty through there. I was surprised to see the one accident involved trucks but who knows how it happened. It really got a bit eerie seeing so many. I'm with ya on the music. I hope I get to contribute in a meaningful way some day...

[@ajadrew]

Great video! Stunning scenery at 7:10...Where was that? Oh yeah, we grow chocolate trees here in Essex..;-))

[@miamorrismusic]

The trip East out of Tennessee and into North Carolina is thick with those sorts of views. It's work for trucks going up and down and roads going around and under but it really is beautiful. That was interstate 40, which runs right into downtown Nashville.

[@ajadrew]

Love roads like that...I watch loads of logging truck/forestry type videos as well. Japan is full of breathtaking views as well!

[@chefsu11715]

Loved this Mia! You sound amazing!! Your face about homework!!🤣🤣🤣The editing is great!

I'm really glad you liked it. I'm guessing it's not what everyone is interested in but I'm hoping most like to see some of this sort of stuff. Thanks!

The fact that you know who Patsy Cline is mindblowing to me, good luck and I can't wait to buy your first CD.

[@miamorrismusic]

I will admit to having a strange range of songs I play from Patsy to System of A Down.. Thanks for your support.

Great vlog keep them coming. Been thru that pass so many times never seen that many accidents though. You are rite wear your seatbelt.

[@davebeck8973]

Jeff Morris Remember it's a three day week end for alot of people. Too many people playing with their cell phones and in a hurry at the same time and the sad thing is, alot of innocent truck drivers end up involved as you seen in her video. Yesterday I almost was in head on 2X that came into my left turn lane with double yellow lines between us. People need to pull their heads out of their butt to see how to drive!

[@miamorrismusic]

It's such a pretty drive but it was a little scary that day.

[@spionsilver9626]

i only click this to hear you yell "wear your seatbelt!" not the first one but that real uncut at 4:20 it is so determined and strict (one can see you totally meant it) - followed by that cute "love you now that shows a lot of care and personality right there it may not seem to be something big - to me its one of them hidden gems in your Vlogs :P

[@miamorrismusic]

:) I actually remember that moment pretty clearly. We kept seeing awful wrecks and I felt so strongly about telling my dad to wear a seatbelt because I know he doesn't always do it. Then, after hearing how harsh it sounded.. I felt like I needed to remind him that I loved him..

[@davidk9]

Mia, on the road again 😀hamburger 🍔 it's not very good for the body but it's so good 😁thank you for shared

I enjoy a lot of food that's probably not the healthiest choice... but I do like the taste.

:) Got it - I know you're right, even about the homework.

[@davebeck8973]

I heard this great statement and thought about you! It's along the lines of the way you think.... you don't have an ego. " When you go through life, you try to improve yourself, not prove yourself " I hope you like that. You definitely have improved, and you have nothing to prove to us how good you are. We know by all the positive feed- back in comments. Your young and I'll say this to you, Don't let anyone miss lead you, miss direct you down the wrong paths in this world. I want to hear good things about you in times to come! Follow your dreams and not ones that can become nightmares you'll regret. Just thought... you maybe able to come up with a song along these guidelines. Keep your head straight and your mind clear Mia. No I'm not acting like a daddy.. lol Just a caring human being!

[@miamorrismusic]

I really like that saying very much. I've listen to it in my mind a few times trying to commit it to memory and to appreciate the thought. It's a tough balance to hope for a really unlikely goal and to end up content.. I always appreciate your input.

[@donaldmeuse4066]

Drove by Wendy's' in the local shrinking mall 2 days ago. I'd go to Wendy's abt 4-6 times a summer. Two days ago there was a large sign in the windows. "ABUUDZ HALLI - LEBANEESE." The times they are a changing!

[@brcc8208]

It's great to see you having fun now and being able to participate in more musical events and broadening your talent. Always remember to safeguard your valuables and lock your vehicle to prevent any kind of theft. It would be a terrible thing and very disappointing. I agree you should be getting some endorsements by now with all the promoting you have done for them. Today you represented VOX and Wendy's. "Where's the Money" as they say. Best of Luck with all your upcoming shows!

[@miamorrismusic]

Ha! I don't really think I deserve an endorsement :) Thanks for the advise. I've been mostly carrying around my bass here at the shows this weekend. I'm nervous about that as well. This one is my most expensive for sure.. Thank you for taking the time to check out what I do, I really appreciate it.

[@brcc8208]

It's wonderful that your Dad is there to support you, so remember to thank him as well for all he has done.

[@keefriff99]

Ha, I wouldn't have taken you for a Pulp Fiction fan! Great video.

[@miamorrismusic]

I wondered who might pick up on that. I discover more and more of my parents sayings are from movies. I knew about half of Raising Arizona by the time I finally saw it :)

[@miloandbono]

haha.. I noticed too. Raising Arizona is a gem. Tell your dad hi from me, he's a pretty great guy.

Cool vlog! You have a silly and fun sense of humor that shows naturally. I'm guessing you get some of that from your Dad. Great voice on stage btw! Please cover 'Don't you forget about me'...I could never master the bass drum part on that song. You'll see why...🤔😀

[@miamorrismusic]

Drums are my favorite instrument. Keep at it and if you can find anyone to play with once in awhile, that can be a lot of fun. I played in a school of rock group for a couple of seasons and really liked it. Those places are all over so hopefully there is one near you. I think it's a great way to improve.

[@barrybbenson9151]

Mia Morris That sounds awesome! Currently I only play in school bands (I play in a jazz ensemble and a contemporary ensemble) so it would be cool to branch out a bit more. I'll definitely look into it :) Thank you so much for taking the time to reply btw. It really means a lot!

[@miamorrismusic]

I'm glad, thank you. The song is called, One More Day and it will get up on Spotify sometime in the next couple of months.

[@likesnoozn]

Looks like you’re on the road, pun intended, to stardom. Great vlog. With your talent, ambition, personality, looks(can’t leave out a cool Dad) it’s just a matter of time. It’s fun to watch the budding growth. One question, can you pull off Hot for Teacher on the beatbox?! P.S. You mentioned the Lemon Twigs in a comment. I used to watch the D’addario preteens perform at family get togethers with their dad Ronnie and my brother and we all knew they were destined to make it.

[@miamorrismusic]

That is so cool. I got lost in the lemon twigs for a week just hunting down anything I could find on them. I think their writing and style is so original. It's funny you asked about hot for teacher. I actually played part of the intro on cajon when I was first learning it and I think it's in this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIi1i6qwiKqoZ5Y&index=5

[@likesnoozn]

Ha! You pulled it off! I love the harmonies in the first clip. Harmonies, like a good hook in a melody, can make a song. I hope you use them as much as you can as you write and perform your own stuff. As an excellent drummer you won’t have to worry about a good solid backbeat, also just as important. The Beatles found that out thanks to Ringo. I also hope you continue to put out videos of your awesome drumming prowess as well!

Aloha Neighbor! I love this post so much. Daddy/daughter adventures and interactions are my weakness. I was so excited to get to chat with y'all after the concert. Did y'all say that I was the first social media person to meet you? If so I don't understand that. Also was that the spicy grilled catfish at Cracky Barrel? That's what I always order. Okay I'm getting carried away again, but this post is all about the concert I got to attend, I'm in the video, and you and your dad are AWESOME! 😁🤘💕😎

[@miamorrismusic]

That is my go-to order. I like the mac-n-cheese and my parents like the ocra. As far as I know, you were the first that strictly knew me from web stuff and ended up meeting at a show in the real world. I appreciate you going to the trouble. You made the right call in Florida. We did a show last night and have another tonight but the open air stages are out of commission for the day because of lighting.

And by the way, you rocked that outfit and those leopard skin boots! Nice video. I feel like I was on a road-trip! Cheers to you! Cool family.

I'm working on that. Thanks for taking the time to watch and I will definitely wear mine!

[@cryhavoc9748]

Wish I had known about a N.C. performance, that could have been driven from S.C. Anyway, listen to your dad. He will always give you the best advice he can, based on his life experience. And, I also think it is GREAT, that you are getting exposure in the music community. Network with other musicians. Someday... in the future, someone you met at this jam session, might be asked, "we need a drummer/or singer/or bass player. Do you know anyone that could fill this slot?" Good luck to you. Will end this rant with the two rules I have laid down for my niece when she goes out. 1)Have fun 2) Be safe while accomplishing 1

lol - Message to Mia's dad: that giggle when the kid wants more fast food at Wendy's but you don't have it in your heart to say no - yep - we've all been there. 😊

[@miamorrismusic]

passed to dad :) Don't let him kid you though, where do you think I got the sweet tooth?

[@mattc9367]

Great vlog, loved hearing your song at the start/finish. Just a thought: don't learn to drive too early. In Europe you can't learn till you're 18, UK 17. The reason isn't because of safety but it'll give you that bit longer to do road trips with dad. When you look back at your road trips you'll remember those smoothies you had together for $1.15, and other special moments. Enjoy that as much as you can now, as, like everything, life moves pretty fast :) Also your dad looks really young (what's his secret?) and a lot of fun. Credit to your parents for introducing you to the good movies, I quote stuff and just get blank stares from younger people. Check out Tommy (The Who) if you haven't done so already. Keep up the good work :)

[@miamorrismusic]

It's funny you mentioned the quotes because as soon as I read, "life moves pretty fast" I thought of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I know what you're saying about my trips with family and I can see that, and certainly appreciate the ones we've done so far. Thanks for the mention of my original song. I'm excited about the style of the last 4 so it's nice to hear. My dad just turned 50 but it comes up all the time, (especially from my mom, that he doesn't age like the rest of the world). Hopefully, I get that form him too :)

[@mattc9367]

@@miamorrismusic 50 wow! I thought early 40's. I'm sure hanging out with you and the Memphis music scene probably help keep him young, which bodes well for you in the future. Keep up the good work and always look on the bright side of life.

I like wendys frostys a lot to-vanilla is my favorite-I got a keytag for $2 for a free junior frosty every time I go there for a year

[@miamorrismusic]

Ohhh - I shouldn't ever get one of those. I don't get enough exercise for that...

[@d74morris]

junior frostys r about half the size of a small frosty & u get good exercise playing drums & it helps children get adopted

[@ryannash11]

Wear your seat belts kids another good video :) but is your throat okay from the fog?

[@miamorrismusic]

I'm not sure if it had anything to do with the fog.. but I ended up with a quick cold that is just about gone.

[@ryannash11]

Fair enough just wondering is all

[@brendangordon4372]

So Mia are doing more drum videos

[@miamorrismusic]

Sure, but it's very difficult to get much done when I'm playing shows, especially ones where there is a lot of travel. These vlogs are the best I can do when I'm away much :)

[@jcbbe]

you have a great dad

[@miamorrismusic]

he does so much for us all :)

[@JeremyBrandlegend]

You're playing next week in Florida? What City?

[@miamorrismusic]

Panama City Beach but this video was last weekend so it's happening right now... One show got rained out today :(

[@tc7362]

What you know about Paul Simon.....? Actually I would like to see you play "late in the evening" kind of like a Mozambique a Steve Gadd groove playing with 4 sticks look into it ...I think you'll like it.

[@miamorrismusic]

I love that song but had no idea there was stick magic going on. I learned the Gadd groove on 50 ways as soon as I could manage it!

How do you make up the time you miss with school you miss

[@miamorrismusic]

Most of the time, my teachers let me make up quizzes and I also get the homework done.

[@daniellovelace5036]

Hey Mia, not only wear your seatbelt but stay off that cellphone also. Where were you at in N.C.? I'm about 20 miles north of Greensboro in a town called Reidsville. =^•^=

[@miamorrismusic]

It was a little town called Marion. They have some sort of off road course that was part of the event.

[@efren8bp]

I play on guitar School's out...but just in Guitar Hero 😄 nice video.

[@miamorrismusic]

Ha! I wondered if there were any Zappa fans out there :)

[@efren8bp]

@@miamorrismusic ...Zappa? FranK zappa?.

[@miamorrismusic]

Yeah, I don't know why I had him stuck in my head and not Alice Cooper.. Actually, I do. I occasionally take a drum lesson from Chester Thompson in Nashville and he played for Zappa for awhile, (along with a bunch of others). I get those two mixed up sometimes. Sorry.

[@danielrienzi3650]

it was like a long journey. it's fun, right? Haha...1:47 really tired huh...There were several road accident locations... horrible. Overall, nice video and story line... Thanks for sharing a good device on 2:21 . Good job Mia!

[@miamorrismusic]

Thank you very much for taking the time to really check it out. I'm starting to see a pattern where I hit a wall during long drives and just curl into my seat for an hour or so. My dad normally puts on an audio book and doesn't seem to mind at all :) Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you liked it!

[@arcamistik]

You're welcome Mia... please give me more cool videos!

[@frankfiore5231]

I have a drum request for you. Can you play "Love Gun" by "Kiss"? That would be cool to hear😀

[@miamorrismusic]

I've not listened to much Kiss but I will poor over some and keep them in mind. Thank you very much for watching and for taking the time to comment.

:) that movie was among a list of must-sees after I had heard my parents quotes over the years as soon as they thought it wouldn't freak me out to watch. My teacher told the tomato joke in school this year but no one said anything so I didn't tell him I knew where he got the joke.

Just wondering if you have ever heard of the aussie band Silverchair! If not sure worth checking them out! Keep it real girl!!
