Making it big may mean moving for local musician

Jeff Lionheart may be on the verge of making it big in the music business, and that possibility could mean that the Grand Haven native will need to relocate to a bigger city. Lionheart, whose real name is Jeff Retzlaff, has tasted success in the past few months because of a song he wrote. The single of that song, "Winter Morning,' made it to No. 3 on the Spins Tracking System music chart last spring (which charts songs played on the radio) - propelling him ahead of such illustrious stars as Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry, Usher and the Black Eyed Peas.
