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!

Lyrics
REACH v.1. i was cleanin' out some o' dad's ol' stuff hummin' a tune stuck in my head wondrin' if i'd done enough if i'd left too much unsaid 'n i came across an old leather backpack i laughed when i unzipped it 'round an old baseball, a deck o' cards dumped it all out on the ground CHORUS: i REACH back to days gone past wish I had a little more time with my dad he'd say "REACH for the power in your soul, when life gets goin' tough ya gotta REACH down deep" yeah but like the wind, my old friend, he's gone again and all i can do is sit and REACH, sit and REACH v.2. i remember bein' a wild child had my own way o' travellin' the roads wonder if he can feel me missin' him 'n how much else he knows? when i came across a picture of an old fishin' trip we were in our glory then me 'n' him 'n' Cap'n Skip someday we'll all be fishin' again CHORUS: i REACH back to days gone past wish I had a little more time with my dad he'd say "REACH for the power in your soul, when life gets goin' tough ya gotta REACH down deep" yeah but like the wind, my old friend, he's gone again and all i can do is sit and REACH Bridge: mom always told me "let go o' the bad 'n hold on to the good" i think i'll call her tonight & let her know if i could do it all again i would CHORUS: i REACH back to the days gone past wish we both had a little more time with my dad he'd say "REACH for the power in your soul, when life gets goin' tough ya gotta REACH down deep" yeah but like the wind, my old friend, he's gone again and all we can do is sit and REACH, sit and REACH outtro: i was cleanin' out some o' dad's ol' stuff hummin' a tune stuck in my head wondrin' if i'd done enough if i'd left too much unsaid (C)2009 Moker Jarrett/ASCAP Run to the Sun Publishing/ASCAP
