The story behind this track started at a train store back in 2006. The idea left the station by way of a songwriting challenge. My close friend and coworker said, "write a song about a train from a different point of view. I instantly thought of "Long Black Train" by Josh Turner. It's not an exact fit for Josh Turner but it was a fun write.

Rockabilly isn't a genre listed on the drop down menu. My target market would be Country for this holiday song.

It's almost time for that Christmas season to begin. Every mall in America is going to be decorated and filled with music for the holiday festivities. My goal was to create something different from all the other traditional holiday songs people hear around this time of year.

LYRIC ONLY Submission

Mid Tempo

Back in 1998 I was inspired by Alan Jackson's song "Right On The Money". It was written by: Phil Vassar and Charlie Black. I attempted my first "target writing" song exercise.

This love song is based on a true story. For 10 years I use to work with people that were over 60 years of age. At one point I was a medical driver and transported a couple back and forth to doctor appointments. The husband had Alzheimer's and over the years I learned a lot about them. Love is amazing and there's never enough words to describe it here on Earth.

Genre: Christian Pop/Rock/Country is what we we're aiming for. This co-write is with a friend of mine in Kentucky. This is an acoustic version, but I want to rock it up a little once we get all three elements of the song right. Lyric, melody and chord progression.







At no point am I trying to sound like a solo artist here. This recording is a one shot, just plugged in and played rough demo. No effects, no in-depth production and no auto-tune. I tried to stay in time the best I could.

This is my first Christian Rock/Pop attempt at a song.
