Moker Jarrett ASCAP with Lucky Stiff, a classic rock group from Jacksonville, Florida has released Ready to Fly a new CD under Run to the Sun Publishing/ASCAP.
Moker Jarrett grew up in the coastal area of Northeast Florida. His dad was a coach and one of his coaching buddies gave Moker his nickname at around age six. Obviously it stuck like glue. The folk masses at St. Paul's were among his first guitar/vocal conquests and that has turned into a lifetime of writing and performing songs. In addition to his dad, his granny and mom were big influences of his outlook on life. My wife gives me a huge dose of support to continue writing at this level. Country has become a favorite genre of Moker's and his main co-writer, Dale Peaden from Panama City Florida shares 13 of the 17 cuts on the recently released CD "Cut This". This team shares a mix of uptempos and heartfelt tunes and is sure to be on their way to garnering a string of country hits. You'll go away humming the melodies and chorus lines and these songs draw you in and make you feel like you're right there in the story. Still performing at local festivals Moker's group "Moker Jarrett with Lucky Stiff"a Jacksonville Florida based power trio is a collection of veteran performers (Moker Jarrett from Jacksonville, guitars, vocals, & songwriter, Jim Rohl,from Cincinnatti drums, Billy Smith, from Philadelphia, bass guitar, & vocals) commited to having a good time, writing cuttable original material for the country and pop/rock markets, and stayin' true to our roots of music with a groove. Music should make your body move!

Story behind the song
The phone call brings news that his brother and an old buddy from high school have been killed in the war, the news, as you can imagine, leaves a lasting impact.
Lyrics
I Got a Phone Call Yesterday V1 I got a phone call yesterday Wish I hadn’t that's all I'll say Didn’t know Joe was over there Didn’t know he’d gone anywhere V2 It’s only been a couple years We hung out and drank some beers Remember him throwin’ a touchdown pass The cross town team still kicked our ass I got a phone call yesterday Chorus I was changing plugs on my brother’s car When the cell phone rang I banged my head trying to reach it It’ll leave a scar Funny how we go out of our way To grab the telephone when it rings I got a phone call yesterday V3 Long tall Joe was his high school name My brother Sam named him at that Game I wonder if Sam knew he’s over there Couple of days they'll get back here I got a phone call yesterday Chorus I was changing plugs on my brother’s car When the cell phone rang I banged my head trying to reach it It’ll leave a scar Funny how we go out of our way To grab the telephone when it rings I got a phone call yesterday Bridge Couldn’t think of a word to say Mom was crying Dad punched a hole in the kitchen wall Sam sure like old Chevrolet's Mom got a phone call yesterday Chorus I was changing plugs on my brother’s car When the cell phone rang I banged my head trying to reach it It’ll leave a scar Funny how we go out of our way To grab the telephone when it rings I got a phone call yesterday Tag I was changing plugs on my brother's car ©2008 Bill Robinson ASCAP-lyric Moker Jarrett ASCAP-music
