love, betrayal, and heartache. This is a rough draft. I haven't mixed at the studio and my voice is a little rough from summer camps (coaching).

We have to let go of the past if we want to get to the promised land.
The Other Side The Other Side
Where I'm at right now in my walk w/ the Lord. I want to stay there too! It's just a short story of where I was and now the Lord is standing w/ me on the mountain top looking down on the valley where I was (sin), and saying 'I brought you through
Wes Hayes singer/songwriter/musician.
Hello to all, I am a 38 year old school teacher and basketball coach here in the great state of Oklahoma. I am a lifelong sports fanatic having played high school football and basketball. The latter was my meal ticket having gone on to play @ Bacone Junior College and Northeastern State University. After graduation I went into coaching. I come from a family of educators/athletes who inspired me to become a coach/teacher.
I have always LOVED music, whether it be singing or playing music. I'm certain my love of music comes from my family and two very different genres/roots. My father is a native of san francisco and my mother from the small town of Mclain, Oklahoma. I tell people that sometimes I would go visit my father and have "the best of earth, wind, and fire", and go back home to my mother, grand-parents, uncles, aunts, cousins and the hee-haw show!I love all types of music and always felt that I could be in this "business". I think if you love it then it's not a business. I have played drums since the age of 10 and picked up a guitar at 29 at the encouragement of my bluegrass buddy superstar Steve Baldridge of Goldwing Express! Also at his encouragement I began writing. I knew I could but just never put it on paper. Well I did, and of course I'm biased but I think I do pretty well with it. After 38 years of hard living- some on my own,(but most was just the hand I was dealt), I feel I have written some songs that hit home with people. That is what I try to do, but feeling these songs and living them make them happen. I feel that a good song will hit home with many people, but a great song will touch all the people!
If you like original songs then your in the right place. No cover songs, just songs about life, love, god, and a few sinnin' songs! All songs written/sung/played by yours truly. Songs were produced at Drapp Studio's with Louis Drapp and Jason Hargrove. Louis also played guitar and bass while Jason sang harmony and produced. Much thanks and appreciation for these two tremendously talented guys!Band/artist history
trying to make some!Have you performed in front of an audience?I have played a few live shows in Branson with the Goldwing Express. I played drums and sang a few cover songs. I say I played drums-they are a bluegrass band, I was just tryin' to keep up! If you would like to have me play your church or show you can reach me @ the listed number or email me @ runninredmen@yahoo.com
Your musical influences
originals.What equipment do you use?
accoustic, bass, drums, and would love to use much more if I can afford the studio time.Anything else?
By the grace of god I will make it! I wonder sometimes why I have all these melodies in my head and the ability to write songs and no one to hear them? I hope this avenue will change that!Contact
