This song is about someone who leaves behind all the material things in life in search of something deeper. A true spiritual journey. Yet whilst he becomes a savior, he doesn't realize that he hurts others he's left behind.

We'll Meet Again is a love song to a soul mate. A poetic ballad with acoustic guitar. An ancient love that has lasted many lifetimes.

New song that I am so excited about! Written by Corine and Allan Barton. Allan was playing this on his guitar and I came up with the lyrics and melody. First cut done on my iPhone. Waiting to go into the studio and do more with this although I like the acoustic guitar so I don't to want elaborate too much. This song is both autobiographical, about the state of the world these days and about trying to save someone's soul. Seems we are all drowning in a pool of tears with all the mass shootings in our country and terrorism

Second version of Mercy Mercy recorded at Starr Ridge Studios with Dave Powers and Rodger on guitar.

This track was written after the news of yet another school shooting. We really need to fight the NRA in Washington and let our voices be heard. All students and teachers should be safe in their classrooms. The Valentine's Day massacre yesterday was horrendous. Let's pray for those who lost their loved ones.

Sweet Water was one of those songs that just come through you. It was inspired by the soft R & B sounds of my youth. It is an intimate look at a man and women's relationship. The dance of lovemaking and the sultriness that goes along with seduction.
