Just me. Just songs.
I was born with an undiagnosable brain dysfunction, having seizures, and with blue skin dur to oxygen deprivation. I would spend much of my youth on strong, mind-altering medication, I would ultimately end up being declared fully disabled on psychiatric grounds, and I've had to be committed to five different psychiatric facilities in three different states. These days, the primary thrust of my overall creative efforts is the advocacy work that I seek to do for the mentally ill and the mentally disabled. These are my songs.

Story behind the song
...so, once upon a time, my wife - the beautiful Mrs. Bertram - had a friend who had just gotten a new tattoo. The tattoo was a cluster of cherries that Theresa's friend had placed upon her thigh with the phrase "Sweet as cherries" placed over them. I was visiting my wife at work one evening shortly there-after, saw my wife's friend, and jokingly asked about when she was going to show me her new tattoo. Well...without missinga beat...and completely to my surprise...my wife's friend dropped her pants right then and there so that I could see her new tattoo...and it was at that point that I instantly and automatically knew that I just had to write a song about her tattoo lol And I actually spent a couple of months writing the lyric and shaping it into what would become our song, "Cherry Tattoo." And while the general theme behind the song is totally fictitious and in no way resembles anything that my wife's friend did or might have done...certain elements in the background content of the song do ring true, though, which has a way of making the song all the more fun.
Lyrics
Cherry Tattoo Verse 1: Pretty blue eyes And a country smile Blond hair that flows A country mile A lot of fun curves That she doesnt show But there’s just one thing You ought to know Chorus: She got a bright red cherry Tattooed on her thigh And all of her friends Are wonderin’ why Yeah, they want to know about That dreamy look in her eye And the bright red cherry Tattooed on her thigh Verse 2: He won her heart With a single look One time with him Was all that it took She didnt mean to But she got off track Yeah, what she gave him She cant take back Chorus: She got a bright red cherry Tattooed on her thigh And all of her friends Are wonderin’ why Yeah, they want to know about That dreamy look in her eye And the bright red cherry Tattooed on her thigh Bridge: Yeah, she keeps thinkin all about him And what she’d like him to do Everytime, that she looks down At that cherry tattoo (Solo) Chorus: She got a bright red cherry Tattooed on her thigh And all of her friends Are wonderin’ why Yeah, they want to know about That dreamy look in her eye And the bright red cherry Tattooed on her thigh (c) 2009 W.
