I’ve Been Down & I’d Love to Knock the Hell Out of You ♩♪♫
I’ve been kind of bummed out for a few days now… not a whole lot to say. Life will straight show up on you. These next two songs have a 17 year gap between them… and take you to different places. The second song really cracks me up, and I need some laughs tonight.
Because I’ve been down.

Old Habits 🎵 Man Of Steel
So I’ve evolved… musically…
since I first started spinnin’ round this world…
My earliest memories—
with my mom and dad—
were The Beach Boys…
and Eagles…
Then around 8… 9 years old—
it was Michael Jackson…
Van Halen…
whatever was lightin’ up the radio back then…
Then came my early teens—
and that’s when Hank Williams Jr. hit me…
And after that…
I just exploded…
Rock…
Folk…
Punk…
Blues…
Rap…
RnB…
Christian…
A little bit of everything—
and somehow… all of it stuck.
But to me…
you can never forget where you came from…
So here’s two excellent ones from my early days—
Allow me to hike up my dress a little for you… so you can see… what im workin’ with… what my roots look like.
