My music is an intricate part of my life.  I incorporate much of my living experience into my
music. This has at times held me at bay for long periods of time while writing because I am not
always the non-conformist that I try to be.  I trust my abilities to expand and explore new horizons with an open mind while remaining basically the same person, always remembering from what direction I came.
    I am Old Country at heart because I was raised with it and the music that comes from it always tells a story.  But the new country is fascinating with its own form of storytelling and artful compositions which reflect the times.  It seems to me that the new country has combined with some rock style as the old incorporated the blues.
    I do, however country-ish I seem to be, love all types of music and can enjoy almost any  song.  Music to me is the language of the universe.  I rather enjoy writing music compositions
within a wide variety of styles.  I love to experiment.

  Life - I believe we have all been given the blessing and right to live from the day we were  conceived,  and we have not the right to take that away from anyone else.  I believe we should all take part as a human responsibility, to insure  the  welfare of all other people as well as our  own as we would ourselves expect. It is shameful that we all are not raised with this self sacrificial responsibility. There are those whom were not fortunate to have the same blessings
in life due some terrible event, and we should not look down upon them but rise them above us with our help, for their hardships are our lessons. We can learn by them.

  Work - I have several ways to be self supporting as I believe it is not enough today to have one interest alone. I incorporate my joy of being creative as well as my love for adventure, with my work. I drive tractor trailer, I am a carpenter, a pipe fitter, and a welder. I am a willing and able person and am proud to sweat for my keep. I shall always find a way to earn an honest living no matter how small that may be.

  Children - Gods blessed gift to all of us as we once were to our parents, and the future of the human race. To be treated with love,  kindness, and giving. To be taught love  kindness and giving along with all that is necessary to pursue a happy existence in harmony with the planet on which we live.  Listen to them, talk with them, teach them respect and respect them as you would have them respect you. They are in need and you have the wisdom and knowledge to give.
  All children belong to our future and we must all hold ourselves responsible to them.  Those who would harm a child..let them be damned..... Those who would ignore a child..... let them live in solitude  and to those self righteous people who claim to know more about children , have non, and pass laws to keep us from teaching children right from wrong without fear of reprisal,
let them be responsible and pay the price for our rampant lawless and out of control Teens.
  The Bible was written and in it were ten commandments!  These were the LAW of god. Laws
were written to protect us from harm.  Some laws that are protecting our children today, on essence are destroying their morals by giving them the right to decide their own destiny when they are still too young to decide what they will eat for their next meal.  For those few Parents who lost control and would harm their children, we are all paying the price, because the laws passed to protect those few children, are now preventing us from proper child rearing causing  widespread dysfunctional families and in return more dysfunctional families... like a disease, it has spread.  The only cure is love and respect.....lets start now!!!!!!!!
 

  Country - This Nation I have been blessed to live in is a gift from God to me. It is the  only place on earth where one has the right by God and the men who died for it, to practice whatever religion one may be, vote for its leaders, carve opportunity to greater levels of life,
and speak ones mind. The only nation where the ideal  "innocent until proven guilty" ,  the term "equal"  and the term "free" is attempted to be standard practice and achieved as close to the truth  as humanly possible.  But those freedoms I enjoy are due to shed blood and  hard work and must be protected with the same in order to pass it down to our children. Nothing is perfect but I'll be damned if I would rather live anywhere else in the world.

  Drugs - The worse disease of mankind, more so than any natural disease, and created by non other than man.  Those indulging in and addicted to drugs are weak and in need of tough help. Those who gain by exploiting drug users are of a selfish lowlife lot and need to be abolished   less we see our own demise.  There is no gain to selfishness  in the end result.

  Women - The most fickled thing on the planet earth, I don't claim to understand them at all
and I think it is best left that way.  I  believe they should have the right to change their mind whenever they want being how they don't really know how to make up their minds anyway.  But I can assure you this, If you show them you love them by your actions, if you are capable of putting your male ego away and letting them know you have feelings, they will be much more receptive to your love
