From time to time I will feature music I have written or recorded on this new page. I hope that you enjoy what you hear here. You may also find music and videos under my media menu.
In 2016, producer Larry Mitchell was visiting our home. He had recently moved from Santa Fe back home to Opelika, AL to look after his mother.
Always looking for something to create, he set up his computer and asked me if there was anything new I was working on. I had written a song a few months earlier for a friend, something really out of my wheelhouse and played it for him. With only a vocal mic and a guitar plugged into his computer via a tiny 4 channel board, Larry recorded my guitar and vocals in my living room. One take, because I was sure I would mess it up if I did a second take.
A few weeks later, after returning to his home studio, he sent me this song. He had taken a simple tune and added drums, percussion, keys, lead guitar, cleaned up my acoustic guitar and doubled harmonies using my existing vocals.
I pitched this to both Bruno Mars and Justin Timberlake. They both passed. Their loss.
