Just me. Just songs.
I was born with an undiagnosable brain dysfunction, having seizures, and with blue skin dur to oxygen deprivation. I would spend much of my youth on strong, mind-altering medication, I would ultimately end up being declared fully disabled on psychiatric grounds, and I've had to be committed to five different psychiatric facilities in three different states. These days, the primary thrust of my overall creative efforts is the advocacy work that I seek to do for the mentally ill and the mentally disabled. These are my songs.

Story behind the song
I always love getting to work with my good friend Austrian singer/songwriter/musician/producer Martin Goetz, and I was very pleased when he invited me into the writing on this project. And this is one of those projects that gained momentum as we went along like a snowball rolling down hilll. It grew to include the added production and mixing skills of German songwriter/producer Robert Baitinger and the talented voice of American vocalist Cathy Wilson. It was a very wonderful group of talented people to work a project with...and as you'll see when you click on the link, a truly beautiful song resulted.
Lyrics
(Come Back) Home To The Country Verse 1 We kiss goodbye at the station His train will soon be leaving I watch as he gets on board While my heart is slowly breaking He looks at me as I start crying We both know What we have is dying The train begins to move Starts to roll away How I wish he could hear me say Chorus Come back home to the country Come back home, please stay with me I’m already on my knees Yes I need you here with me I want to tell you, I need to let you know Please come back, please come back home Verse 2 We walked hand in hand down country roads In the quiet country air And watched the sun set and rise He was always near and he always cared He fell in love and Left the city Made a home A life out here with me I had his heart but The city kept his soul And in the end he just had to go Chorus Come back home to the country Come back home, please stay with me I’m already (down) on my knees Yes I need you here with me I want to tell you, I need to let you know Please come back, please come back home Bridge And as I hear The lonely whistle blow I wish again Somehow I could let you know Chorus Come back home to the country….
