You Never Do (gtr vocal) You Never Do (gtr vocal)
Following a GAC show on "Heartbreak" songs I decided it was time to write a new one myself...
See If I Care See If I Care
Just a fun flip on the normally negative expression "See if I care"...
You Can Be My Book You Can Be My Book
This song sprang from the punch line to an old joke..
This Old Guitar This Old Guitar
This is a revisit to an old idea that needed some work to improve it...
That's Why I Love You That's Why I Love You
Some Christians Some Christians
Am I the One Am I the One
This was one of those sit and strum and see what springs to life ideas... Seems I was wrong when I said not to expect too many "spiritual" songs from me...
That's Not Why Jesus Cried That's Not Why Jesus Cried
Although I am a Christian, I almost never writer "religious sounding" titles... I am more inclined to be spiritual than "churchy"
My Side of the Story Now (gtr vocal) My Side of the Story Now (gtr vocal)
Fellow Michigan songwriter Kid Rock warned of the dangers of breaking a songwriters heart and then talking smack to others about it.. This new song takes up that theme with a little, two sides to every story approach.
Reasons To Stay (gtr vocal) Reasons To Stay (gtr vocal)
Drawn from a series of conversations with my favorite northern Michigan pen pal, Belle and I were talking about excuses that some call reasons to leave a relationship.
Call Out For Me (gtr vocal) Call Out For Me (gtr vocal)
Sometimes all it takes is a trigger phrase to get an idea going.. In this case it was hearing "when your back's against the wall" and away it went..
The Only Thing Not Gone (gtr vocal) The Only Thing Not Gone (gtr vocal)
One of the things you see in Nashville are good deals on guitars in the local pawn shops, so naturally there had to be a song there...
Blue Sunrise (gtr vox) Blue Sunrise (gtr vox)
Inspired by a comment from a facebook friend about one of my sunrise photographs...
I Hate Seeing You (this blue) I Hate Seeing You (this blue)
I have been trying to write this idea for over 30 years and every version came out sounding cliche' and good for nothing but padding the bottom of my waste baskets... This one may work for me...
Why Can't I (gtr vocal) Why Can't I (gtr vocal)
This has been one of the most emotionally difficult songs I have ever attempted because it strikes so close to home for so many families..
The Magic Log (gtr vocal) The Magic Log (gtr vocal)
This song sprang from a conversation Belle and I had about the completely innocent comment a child made which the adults found funny, and the child was wondering why?
Alone In Nashville (gtr vocal) Alone In Nashville (gtr vocal)
Heck of a way to spend my Mother's Day.. First thing this morning I wrote one about the fact it was raining.. Then this afternoon this one came sneaking out of my conversations with Belle and some random strumming...
It's OK It's Rainin' Today (gtr vocal) It's OK It's Rainin' Today (gtr vocal)
The first verse wrote itself when I looked out my window this morning..
It's All Your Fault (gtr vocal) It's All Your Fault (gtr vocal)
What's the old saying about; behind every man?
I Should 'a Seen This Comin' (gtr vocal) I Should 'a Seen This Comin' (gtr vocal)
This is the first song I ever had covered by another songwriter, and now very close friend, John Lott.. The song was written back in the early 90's and when John first heard it he says: Ya mind if I cover that one.. Go4it.
