I am grateful to have had some of my songs professionally recorded by some of Nashville's finest musicians.

BLESSING IN DISGUISE is a poignant and beautiful song inspired by my son, Justin, who has autism.  Some of the finest studio musicians in Nashville donated their talents to record the song with the hope that it might help to raise awareness of the growing autism epidemic, and perhaps someday be used in conjunction with autism awareness campaigns and fundraisers.

Aah, aah, aah ... 
The harshest winter yet
All the horses have run crazy
God has killed the internet
The final course...
