3am and I wake up suddenly with this thought in my head that I had to get up and lay down with an acoustic guitar and rough vocal before I could go back to sleep. The next day, I did some tweaking of the lyrics and moved forward with finding the girl to sing it. Talk about a simple song that just pops into your head....

This song was written from a real life experience. My best friend passed away at 33 as he left behind a two year old boy and four year old boy and his loving wife. The boys didn't understand that there Dad went to Heaven, to them it was like Wal-Mart, let's just go get pick him up. They soon realized there Dad wasn't coming home. Take a Listen.

The singer is just a working man who knows who he is and what's important to get the job done and live a good life.

The singer wants another chance with his girl and uses the dog as an excuse to get her back. This is a humorous take on using guilt to get another chance.

WHAT’S IN YOUR HEART (written by Jack Speer, sung by Tim Buppert, produced by Tre' Corely of Oak Tree Studios):

I’ll never forget the first time I met my great-grandmother. I was 6-years-old when I awoke from the back of my parents’ station wagon, only to see a dilapidated old shack with cows all around. I had just seen the Wizard of Oz and the old lady standing on the front porch of this shack had long white hair and looked a lot like the witch in the Wizard of Oz. I was scared to death of this old lady. But, in no time, I loved her. I once asked, “Are you poor?” She smiled and said, “Wealth is but a frame of mind and I’m as rich as you will find.” I learned so much from my great-grandmother.
