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
Jan and Pete came to me with a great lyric and I came up with some tempo music that wll hopefully make this great little story a great cut for some Lucky artist!! The story itself is so positive how a gamblin', boozin' guy was saved by a great gal, and then they got twins, and he's feelin' Lucky now !!
Lyrics
SOMETIMES YOU GET LUCKY (c)2008 Hopkins/Gallatin/Jarrett I've rolled 'em, chose to hold 'em In the lost years of my life I bet on long shots; got real hot Blew it in the blink of an eye..... Got caught red-handed in a cheating game Hit rock bottom...came back again Been a loser, a hard boozer Then one day that all changed Sometimes you get lucky, one hit was enough When she walked into the room, the Queen of Hearts turned up When she smiled my losing hand turned into a full house Sometimes you get lucky, feeling lucky now She staked me, she made me Into the man I am today Could'a bowled me, when she told me We were dealing in the family way I saw a boy jumping mud puddles She saw a little girl, lovin' her up with cuddles One dream must wait, up to fate Then the doc said, Hey you've rolled doubles Sometimes you get lucky, one roll was enough When I walked into the room the Queen of Hearts turned up Two little smiles turned my life into a full house Sometimes you get lucky, feeling lucky now Inst. Bridge: Sometimes you get lucky, just can't get enough When she walked into the room the Queen of Hearts turned up When she smiled my losing hand turned to a full house Sometimes you get lucky, feeling lucky now Sometimes you get lucky, feeling lucky now Sometimes you get lucky, feeling lucky now
