I come from Texas where I grew up with country, blues, rock, folk, and everything in between. I grew up on a cattle ranch and once I realized that I didn't really want to be a "real cowboy" I followed my dreams of being a musician. I went on to play all over the world and I moved back to the United States in 2000 with my wife Marija whom I met while I was living in the Netherlands. We currently live in Nashville Tennessee and I am now concentrating mostly on writing.

Story behind the song
I just had the idea one day and I thought it would be interesting to do a sort of "time jump" in a song as many movies do.
