I’m great with animals. They love me. We get each other. I got that touch. 👉 That’s what she said. With one exception. Effin Horses!
I’ve tried twice in my life to ride them and almost got killed both times. No joke. That second time, it was a miracle I didn’t die.
I’m going to save this story for my trucking stories series that’s coming soon. Because it’s related to that.
There’s three things in life that I’ve learned can smell fear, pitbulls, bees, and horses. The first two are a bees. I mean breeze. 🐝
Here’s two great songs. One is about a horse. I hope ya enjoy them and thanks for listening. 🐎💥🔫

I took this pic tonight and the blue highlight on my guitar is reflecting from the TV screen. Pretty neat and it happened a second before I snapped the pic.
Seems I always have a song playing inside me. I often wake up in the night or in the morning with different ones in my heart and on my lips.
This song here, I’ve had in me for like a week now. It’s from 2oO3, I think. I’m a big Pat Green fan. I used to do this one often on piano at a bar I played at back in the day.
That reminds me… I need to get another piano or a nice keyboard. But I like an actual piano better.
Early on in my life, this song was spiritual for me, but now it’s taken on a whole new meaning.
Anyway, this song reminds me of my girlfriend. I recorded it yesterday for her. She’s a special lady. Beautiful inside and out.
So here’s one for all the great wives and future wives.
When I was 19, I decided to get a tattoo of a black tribal sun on my stomach. I thought it was so cool at the time lol. Over the years, though, my buddies would make fun of me. Whenever I’d take my shirt off, they’d start singing “Black Hole Sun” by Soundgarden all loud and dramatic. 😂
So yeah, I can’t stand that song today, and you’ll never hear me cover it. 😁
But here’s some great American music for ya that I can stand. I hope you enjoy, and thanks for listening. 😎
I just have so much going on in my life currently. My mother is sick and in the hospital, and my girlfriend is recovering from an accident that should have killed her. It’s a miracle she’s still alive.
It’s a miracle I’m still alive too, and I’ve been holding on to a promise from God for twenty years now. Ever since I was 33 years old.
And now is this time, and this is the season.
These next two songs… I’m living them out currently, so the words felt special as I sang them.

In the early 90s, there was a small little place on the north side of Atlanta called Triclops Sound Studios. Most of us locals had no idea what was happening there until years later.
From December of 1992 through March of 1993, Billy Corgan and The Smashing Pumpkins were there recording what would become the Siamese Dream record.
March of 1993 was also when the great blizzard hit the eastern United States. The band ended up snowed in at the studio for days as Atlanta pretty much shut down.
I drove by that studio many times and never had a clue what was happening inside. Honestly, I didn’t even know the place existed.
Courtney Love and Hole also recorded their Live Through This record there, and during that same time, Kurt Cobain was doing secret sessions at the studio. Other bands like Kansas and Matchbox 20 also made records at Triclops.
Today, the building is just an office space and a memory, but the music that was created there still lives on.
Here are two songs from the Siamese Dream record… “Today” and “Mayonaise.”
These are just practice recordings. This is the first time I’ve played “Today” since around 1998 or 1999 and “Mayonaise” is a special song to me. It’s beautiful and one of my all-time favorites.
From 2oO0 to 2oO6, when I was with “The Pond,” I performed it often. But I haven’t played either of these songs in years. So I was just having fun with them, revisiting some old favorites, and experimenting.
