I don’t Miss Being a Human Jukebox AT ALL!
Filed Under blog
It’s 2012 and it’s been just over two years since I quit playing predominantly cover tunes, full time, for a living and ya know what? I NEVER think about it, I do not miss it and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my creative life! In truth it was killing me softly for a long long time and I was over it 10 years before I quit. I know being able to play music, any music, is a dream for most musicians but ya see, I never saw myself as “most” musicians. I saw myself as an artist. Someone who had something to say that was original and it ate me up inside to have to perform other people’s material in order to get paid work. Such is life!
In the last 2 years I quit doing gigs I hated, attended Film School in Los Angeles for 6 months, got married, started a family, and moved to Nashville to pursue my songwriting/producing dream. Now, I’m literally working toward that dream with some little successes along the way and I’m optimistic about bigger ones to come. No matter what, everyday is filled with the satisfaction that I’m getting better at my craft and art and I’m doing what I want to do within that art. You really can’t ask for anything more, can you?
I’m living proof it’s never too late to go after your dreams, no matter what anyone else tells you. Here’s to hoping 2012 kicks ass for all of us!

New Demo: It Ain’t Enough :)
Filed Under blog
Whatcha think?
It Ain?t Enough-E 3/13/11
I used to think that love was easy, I used to think that life was fair I used to be so naive that I thought I could see things that just weren?t there I want to believe in something, I need to believe in truth I guess it depends how it looks at the end of all the wanderings of youth
But I wanna know, why?ya so lonely But I wanna know, why?ya so Blue……. But I wanna know, why?ya angry Oh Baby Ya got so much, but It ain?t enough
Ya thought you?d be something special, they taught ya to believe in yourself Ya thought you were someone who?d change the world but you?re just like everybody else You needed to find a purpose, You wanted to feel alive
You tried to forget you lost your dream to the struggle of tryin to survive
Chorus Lead over Chorus
Now I don?t know much about contentment, But I know it?s hard to find but I hope someday it comes my way, It?d be big load off my mind Now I know you?ve got some questions, so honey get in line I guess we?re supposed to try to figure it out while we walk the earth deaf and blind
But I wanna know, why am I lonely But I wanna know, why am I Blue……. But I wanna know, why am I angry Oh Baby I got so much, but It ain?t enough
It ain?t enough, why am i lonely It ain?t enough, why am I Blue……. It ain?t enough, why am I angry Oh Ya know I got so much, but It ain?t enough

Pat Tillman Story
Filed Under blog
Man..I’m so filled with emotion at this moment. I can honestly say that I’m so ashamed at us. Americans. NOT the Lying Criminal pieces of shit who hold positions of power and who have systematically sought to dismantle the very foundations and laws on which this nation was built. No, sociopaths always seek to subjugate innocents. This is why historically speaking, they go after positions of power and many attain those positions. No, I’m not ashamed at them. They are just doing what they do. A Shark does what a shark does. I’m ashamed at us. The American people and we will get the retribution we deserve for letting this happen. For believing the lies. For taking the bribes and promises of a better life, these swine Govt. criminals promise as they tell one fiction after another in search of votes. Denial is a powerful thing and the American people are TRULY in denial. You can’t tell me that if someone turned the fucking TV off for a minute and started to think for themselves, that they wouldn’t come to these conclusions readily. They most certainly would but you know what? We don’t want to know the truth. We don’t want to know what this country has become and the fact that we ourselves have foistered our own demise. We will surely get everything we deserve in the end and it ain’t gonna be pretty. I can assure you that.
Pat Tillman was an idealist and he was a hero. Albeit a naive one in the beginning. It didn’t take him long to wise up though. He figured things out very quickly during his first tour in Iraq. That the war was illegal and all of it was a bunch of bullshit. Good for him. He just wanted to do his time and get out, move on with his life. Maybe get back into the NFL. He could have done it and never even gone to Afghanistan where he would meet his untimely demise by friendly fire. However, Pat was a man of integrity who believed he made a commitment and would finish what he started. Pat Tillman never made it back from Afghanistan in 2004. That was a shame but Pat knew what the risks were. He was naive in the beginning, sure but even when he figured it all out he decided to finish what he started. That proved to be in my opinion, his mistake.
No, I have a few more years on Tillman and at this point I can say I would have gotten out after Iraq just like he had the opportunity to do, gone public with all the lies he knew and his first hand experience. Fucking criminals worse than Hitler..Actually who’s parents and relatives supported, financed and propped up dictators such Hitler and many others, run this country and run the world and fuck being one of their tools. When I was very young and stupid I too joined the Army. I’m not all gung ho and proud because I did it for idealist reasons. No..I was ignorant of how the world truly worked and I know now I was lucky to have had an injury to my shoulder in training that resulted in a Honorable Medical Discharge. I was lucky because I could have easily been a well meaning brainwashed casualty of an unjust action just like Pat Tillman.
The book and film really upset me and I felt for Tillman’s family. I feel for all our soldiers families. That said, unfortunately I hold little hope of anything changing for the better in this country. No. This is just the beginning of hard times. Smoke em if ya got em.
P.S. If you’re one of those assholes who think Artists should shut the fuck up and just play our guitars or paint, act, etc..Go fuck yourself! We are Americans first and foremost and are entitled our opinions just as much as the next person. 
Artists may be the only hope we have as a catalyst for social change and awareness. We are living in Orwellian times and it just might take truth seeking artists to help the blind see the forest. So, I will get back to writing and singing my songs about truth, social injustice and hopefully it will get people thinking, exploring and talking. That is the only hope we have as a nation. A grass roots movement toward change.

2 New Demos Written with Don Pedigo.
Filed Under blog
The Boss said you’re gone next time you’re late,
he was on my back for the rest of the day
But I wasn’t listening anyway,
Couldn’t wipe that smile away
Cashed my check, and jumped in my cab,
had one with the boys at the Doghouse Shack
Mashed that lightning on the way to your house,
wanna leave this week behind
So baby jump inside….
It’s alright, It’s OK
Feels so good on this beautiful day
Cause I got you and I Just got paid…
It’s alright, It’s OK…
Everything’s better on Friday
The music’s sweeter and the beer is colder,
Out at the point with you on my shoulder
It’s all about you and me tonight, lets leave the week behind
it’s way past time
It’s alright, It’s OK
Feels so good on this beautiful day
Cause I got you and I got paid…
It’s alright, It’s OK…
Everything’s better on Friday
Em D/F# G C C/B D, Em D/F# Em D G C A7 C D7
I ain’t thinking bout Monday, ain’t thinkin bout anything
All week long, I’m just dreaming of you
And your love, get’s me higher, your love is what gets me through
It’s alright, It’s OK
Feels so good on this beautiful day
Cause I got you and I got paid…
It’s alright, It’s OK…
Everything’s better on Friday
Made reservations at your favorite place
I haven’t taken you there since our first date
We’ve had out ups and downs but really it’s been great
Your love brought me saving grace
Workin 60 hour weeks, saving away
And on our Anniversary there’s some things I wanna say
You’re my everything and more, I’m 10 ft. tall
And I may stumble, and I may fall
You make me a better man
I love you the best I can, I love you the best…The Best I can….
I come home dirty and I come home tired,
I wake right up up when I see your smile
I’d walk through hell and a hundred miles
just knowing that you’re waiting for me makes it all worth while
Girl you drive me wild in every little way
But tonight I’m gonna show you what my words can’t say
You’re my everything and more, I’m 10 ft. tall
And I may stumble, and I may fall
You make me a better man
I love you the best I can, I love you the best…The Best I can….
Em-F-Em-F-G7
whoh oh…I want you to know, I can hold on forever
If you don’t let me go, so don’t let me go…
Chorus.
