I'm a guitarist, singer, and songwriter from central Kentucky. My music is a mix of many different influences; from the country and western I heard as a child to some stuff I heard yesterday. I was a full time, working musician for over twenty years; doing clubs and concerts all over the eastern U.S., but mainly in Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, and Florida. I have played every kind of venue; from the smallest, seediest club to 10,000 seat concert halls. Loved every minute of it. I also spent many hours in various studios as both musician and producer on a variety of projects. I am now a part time musician; I divide my musical time between writing and recording my own songs and playing with a great bunch of musicians in a band called "The Grandees". I write songs primarily to make you shake your money maker. I'm not deep, and I'm certainly no virtuoso. I just want you to have a good time. The songs I have here are from my second solo CD, titled "The Twisted Tale Of The Honky Tonk Monkey", which is available at CDBaby.com and my upcoming CD "Bad Choices Make Good Stories". My first CD, "All Night Radio", is available at CD Baby and fine CD discount bins everywhere. Thank you for visiting, and... TURN IT UP!!!!!

Story behind the song
This song is dedicated to all those great people who shared our youth. We were the best!
Lyrics
Cruisin' down on Broadway groovin that old man funk Got all I need to get up to speed Don't need no modern junk When the drums are slammin' and the boys start jammin' I go back to another place Ain't no stoppin' when the bass starts poppin' Puts a big smile on my face I was on the make, no mistake, hadda find me a baby tonight Some downtown lady with a past that's shady Would make me feel so right At party time I felt so fine With a pocket full of foldin' green I had moves that looked so smooth I swear I was a dancin' machine Gettin down to some funky sound, we were the army of the night Party 'till dawn then party on Didn't need no guiding light Bang some heads and rip some threads Everybody on the floor Weren't gettin older we were so much bolder We were always ready for more We were party creatures with party features had no time to waste Losin' sleep but never cheap We had champagne tastes So discreet in the big back seat Of my '69 Cadillac We'd jump inside and take a ride Never worry 'bout holdin' back
