Artist picture
A little bit Gordon Lightfoot, a little bit Harry Chapin, a dash of Paul Simon, and a whole lot of myself. I think of my music as Americana with blues, country
I play solo and with WOODY, my trio. When I play solo, I do mostly original songs with some selected covers by songwriters I hold in high regard. WOODY plays originals by the three of us also, with some covers to satisfy those in the audience who are hooked on the same 'ol stuff' they hear on the radio - except that it's not the same old stuff. We do it for the excitement and to get people dancing. It seems to work :-)

Story behind the song
This song started off life as a joke
Lyrics
You know I think that life is backwards and I'd like to turn it all around come back from the dead as an old man be born 6 feet underground start off life in my retirement have all the money that I need maybe do some travellin' around the country makin' friends with the people that I meet Get me a gold watch with my new job work 40 years to earn my pay marry my old nursing home sweetheart buy a cap and gown for graduation day Maybe I'll go and play some baseball or learn to play the clarinet beg my parents for a big wheel and eat all the candy I can get spend half my days at the playground and go swimmin' in the creek learn to run fast when I have to like when Aunt Bessie wants to kiss my cheek Finally, when the time draws near and all my times have been the best you'll find me in that old rockin' chair nuzzled up to my momma's breast and just before the lights go out I'll take a last look around the room think about how warm it's gonna be when I climb back in my momma's womb Yes, I think that life is backwards and I know it'd be more fun if I could take all the things I learned in a lifetime so I could use them when I'm young when I grow young do do do do do do do do do do do do do
