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 is a complete re-recording of the song "Mr. Responsible" which has been up a long time now. I lost the master files to the original recording when a hard drive crashed on my computer right after I finished recording it so I never got to finish mixing and mastering it.I never thought the old version had the sound or feel that I was after. This version is a lot closer to what I had in mind. I hope you like it.
Lyrics
I try to be a responsible man but I ain't I try to do the responsible thing but I cain't I never try to join, I try to beat 'em Never learn from my mistakes, I repeat 'em Got a streak in me don't wanna do right at all Had a job a week every day for the last three years All I had to eat last month was some jerky and beers Well it's heavy fuel but you know you got to burn it If you want the scars you know you got to earn it If I earn any more there's a chance I won't know nothin at all Chorus: If there's a way to make a mess I can find it Trouble's down the road but I don't mind it Give me a fight on a Saturday night Sunday in jail will be all right Three hots and a cot could hit the spot If you would smuggle me in a beer and a shot Stuck in Bogaloosa with a juicy little boozer But I swear I think the girl's on the run She's a greedy little cougar, sleeps with a Luger But I'm more scared of her than the gun If I make a break for the Alabama line I can be in Tuscaloosa when the sun starts to shine Find a mean mistreater and start all over again Could of had a job last week down at the Tasty Freeze But you know somehow that juice ain't worth the squeeze Stay light on my feet and keep on groovin' You're harder to hit if you keep movin' It's a big ol world and you can start all over again
