A boy in a man's shoes planted in the South with my heart back on the farm just singin a song... or more. If I write or cover a song, it's because the song needs to be heard (wink). I'm addicted to the singer-songwriter performances. There's nothing better than sharing life, love and embarrasing screw-ups in front of a crowd of onlookers and fellow songwriters. It keeps me encouraged to go to work and earn a living so that I can write and sing a little longer (grin).
