One time driving back from Key West toward Miami there was a wreck on Seven Mile Bridge. Traffic was backed up for miles. Word filtered down that they would have to send a wrecker down from Miami,and that would take several hours before it would show up. One local trucker said “guess I’ll go catch a little Keys Disease” I said, “what’s that? He said, “that’s what you get when you drink a couple beers and drag your ass around all day.”.

This was a Bonnie Raitt song from a long time ago. Recently I heard a friend cover this song. As a tribute to my friend I thought I’d turn it into a rock anthem, and then I found out about Bonnie. This is my first attempt at arranging someone else’s words. This should make you hold up a lighter.

This is about diabetes, at first you have no clue what it is as there really aren’t any symptoms. But it is deadly and you have to be aware. There are a lot of diabetics out there and we all handle it differently, this is my story done to a rock’n blues.

After having my own run in with the faltering economy, the words “I got a wife and a kid and a car and a house but I got no job to support ‘em” sort of came into my head. This is how it rounded out. Also I couldn’t figure out if it was country or rock and roll. You decide!
This song started out on a day when an old friend contacted me. I was in a great mood, and started writing this melody. Then he told me his sister, with whom I had often flirted with, a number of years ago, had passed away and I decided to name it after her.
Baby Mama came to me after watching a Maury Povich Show where every one seems to turn up to get a DNA test to see if they are actually the father of some love child. In this song the protagonist realizes for the first time that his relationships might just lead him to the Maury Povich Show to find out if his kids, or soon-to-be-kids are his.
A guitar centered celebration of the evening sky juxtaposed against the fireflys of spring and summer combining to provide a great effect and showcase of life. The staccato of the guitar mimics the blasts of light from the fireflys as the evening turns to night.
This is the story of love on the Tundra under the bright Alaskan summer sky, of growing apart but remembering that special time and place.
AKA, The Ballad of John & Alice, is an homage to friends in Ensenada. It's about two people falling in love on a sailboat race from San Diego to Ensenada, your basic, happy up beat, up tempo little romp through the Baja lifestyle and southern California boating lifestyle.
Quintessential young love among the beaches in Southern California. Sun, surf and tan blondes, what more could a guy ask for?
There is a road house on between Fairbanks and Nenana, Alaska called Skinny Dick's Halfway Inn, a wonderful place in the tradition of road houses. It was owned by a gentleman named Dick and man was he Skinny! In fact his nickname was Skinny, Here's to you.
I use to date a wonderful lady who worked as a bar tender. I'd get of work about midnight and go to her bar. I would sit at the bar and she'd slip me free drinks and I'd fill her tip Jar. It was always a fun show to watch her work, and hey, free drinks!
I wrote this song because of the immense success of Grand Theft Auto. It's about an impulse junkie, who gets high stealing cars and ONLY stealing cars. A nice funky, heart pounding beat will get ya going!
At several places in the northern climates they actually make hotels from out of Ice. This is the story of someone who visited one of those hotels and found out his girlfriend is just like the Hotel, cold as hell!
