Another reminder that giving of ourselves makes us all 'every-day heroes'

Usually, I'm sort of a one-man act, however, I perform well with others too. To get a feel for my style, you'll just have to hear it.
Like many artists, It's difficult to attach a specific genre to my music. The closest I can estimate is "Adult Contemporary." At present, my music is studio recording, but I have performed live as well.

Written for a Combined Federal Campaign drive locally, Jim put the music to his friend's lyrics.
Lyrics
{spoken} … Grandpa what’s a hero? {spoken} Oh goodness, child. That’s a hard one to answer — you see; there’s more than one kind of hero. Most folks think that a hero has to do something that makes them famous — like scoring the winning points in the big game. But there’s another kind of Hero — an everyday hero. Let me give you some examples... Bob’s all alone in his car drivin’ home, After workin’ late into the night Ahead on the shoulder a car has pulled over And Bob knows that something’s not right His stomach is empty and his body is achin’ And Bob misses his children and his bride But he can’t drive by without tryin’ to help them For him it’s a matter of pride Everyday Heroes are everyday people just doin’ the best that they can They don’t need to be told they just seem to know when folks need a helping hand. Annie and Leslie are 40 years married Enjoying the prime of their lives Their children are grown and off on their own Three sons with beautiful wives Les says to a stranger who is hungry and cold Come with me and your meal I will buy If ever a neighbor is sad or alone Annie seems to drop by with a cake or a pie. Everyday heroes are work-a-day people just doin’ the best that they can They don’t need to be told they just seem to know when folks need a helping hand. Jenny’s an athlete who just finished racing Running as fast as she could Her face is beaming The small crowd is screaming And Jenny knows she has done good Dad gives her a bear hug As Mom wipes a teardrop And she says: I just won 8th place! Her body is grown up, but she’s still a child A child with an angel’s face. Everyday heroes will give it their best, Though others might choose to stop. Their joy comes from living and loving and giving, Not finishing in the top spot. Everyday heroes are work-a-day people just doin’ the best that they can They don’t need to be told they just seem to know when folks need a helping hand.
