Bluesy Southern Jazz Rock Vocal and Instrumental music. Songs about you and me and other real people. Genuine Music - Made in America.
Most of the music here is music that I have written, which is my passion - writing and playing guitar centric music with lyrics that speak to and about real people. While I spent a lot of time on the road in my younger days and played with a lot of great musicians and opening acts, I've been back at it for a few years after a really long hiatus.

Lyrics
Dead or Alive You’re a gambler and a drifter You’re man all alone You never had a family You never had a home You were just a man Not a man on the run You wanted to live But not by the gun It was all a mistake But they couldn’t see They wouldn’t listen They wouldn’t believe They need to hang somebody And they don’t care who Someone is guilty It might as well be you Chorus: Dead or Alive Dead or Alive Now you’re wanted Dead or Alive You wanted a drink A place to lay your head You didn’t hurt anyone Or want anyone dead You ordered the coffee And the special today Didn’t plan to linger Didn’t plan to stay A shot rang out And somebody fell Somebody screamed And somebody yelled You were in the wrong place At the wrong time Now Your Life’s on the Line Chorus: You live your life From day to day The price to relax Is too high to pay You’re under cover You’re in disguise Endure the pain Endure the lies You’re movin’ fast And layin’ low Don’t stay too long Don’t you move too slow You were in the wrong place At the wrong time Now Your Life’s on the Line
