U. S. 64

This is a tribute to the annual Rolling Thunder Rally. Every Memorial Day in Washington D.C., motorcyclists from all over the nation gather on behalf of our POWs, MIAs and Veterans. The song tells the story of how, in 2006, I came upon thousands of these patriots as they traveled across the country to remember friends lost in service to our nation. I recorded this song originally in 2007. This is a new recording made in 2023.

Evenings Such As This

This is a love song. It was born out of a challenge from another songwriter to write a song in this form. The story is fictional.

I Never Got To Say

I wrote this song after the sudden loss of songwriter Greg Taylor, a friend and great inspiration to me and many others. It was way too soon for him to leave.

Old Shoes Blues

In 12-bar, here's a little blues tune about a fellow whose lady just tossed him aside ... like an old pair of shoes.

Fare Thee Well

When people work together for many years, they form a special relationship. When it's time to say goodbye, it calls for a special song.

It's About the Song

Procrastination can be it's own art form. When I started out to develop this website, many years ago, I ended up writing this song instead. It's somewhat biographical and it's written specifically for the audience to join in on the chorus.

Cherished Pictures

Imagine a group of neighbors who have grown to be close friends. Some are now moving away to begin new life chapters. This song was written for a goodbye gathering of such friends. I often use it to close a set.
