Hello, Clippers sailed on many a journey, I invite you to journey with me ---- I am a simple man who has journeyed near and far. My experiences have taken me to foreign lands and across the country. One constant has guided me, there are great people and great beauty everywhere. I work in the education arena now but my career has spanned many fields. I have loved, laughed, struggled and cried. My foundation is set in a belief of more good than evil, more fair than not, more time for admiration, less time for hate. May you enjoy my work and may we make beautiful music together someday.

Story behind the song
As a candidate for the U.S. Congress it amazed me how many people felt the government owed them things that they wanted...it was their due!
Lyrics
“Give me Liberty or give me death!” No longer our battle cry for the future… Just a ghostly thought from the past… Give me liberty or give me my entitlement, Give me what the government owes me, I want my due from Uncle Sam…don’t you? He owes me for it is my right to have all I can, He owes my children everything…understand? This is my reason for living in this nation, This is my focus for draining your taxation, I demand my equal payment for I am a citizen. Give me liberty or give me my due ration, Give me what lies within my heart’s passion, I want my due from Uncle Sam…don’t you? He owes me for a past of utter poverty, He owes me minimum wages…understand? This is the reason we struggle to survive, This is my focus for keeping government alive, I demand my rightful share for I am a citizen! Give me liberty or government backed education, Give me welfare dollars for my family separation, I want my due from Uncle Sam…don’t you? He owes me, mine and all who dare to follow, He owes me for daily struggle…understand? This is the reason our family dies in foreign lands, This is why I sacrifice so you will meet all my demands, I demand my rightful share for I am a citizen! Give me liberty or give me my due… To hell with liberty, give me my due!
