In the Arms of Cocaine 🎶 Footlights
Hey yall… it’s after 3am for me. I’ve had my headphones on for a while just letting the music run… letting life run…
I landed on these two tonight…
…
🎶 In the Arms of Cocaine — from Strong Stuff 1983
🎶 Footlights — from Rowdy 1981
…
I can relate to both of these…
Those arms are no place to be.
Slow burns… bad turns… live… learn…
and try not to kick out the footlights out again.
Thanks for listening.

I’ve Got Rights 🎶 The Conversation
So music can be a funny thing for me… as a musician and stuff…
My Outlaw Roots… they don’t define me… it’s just a sound I love… it helped shape me… get me ready for what all was to come…
But I’m many things musically…
For example… days ago… I was in my bathroom because of the great acoustics… covering songs from Keith Sweat… K-Ci & JoJo… Boyz II Men…
And like the night before… I recorded songs from Keith Urban… Sister Hazel… Bob Marley… the Fugees…
the night before that… it was Damn Yankees… Breaking Benjamin… Garth Brooks…
I keep a list of songs I want to work on and record weekly…
Next week or two… it’s Def Leppard… Three Days Grace… Dave Matthews… Tonic… Fuel… Pearl Jam… Everclear… Social Distortion… and some Hank Jr…
Just never know what you’re gonna get with me 😁…
Here’s two for ya…
🎶 I’ve Got Rights — Family Tradition 1979
🎶 The Conversation— Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound 1979
Also I’ve included a great bonus video… yall should check it out… it’s some good stuff 😎
Thank yall for stoppin’ by… Hope you enjoy…

I Should Have Told You 🎶 Angels Take a Soul
So… it’s 3am… here at my spot on earth… and I’ve been listening to Fuel for the past hour… figuring out which songs I want to use…
I decided on the album “Angels & Devils” from 2oO7… it’s the first album featuring lead singer Toryn Green… instead of Brett Scallions… and honestly… it’s a great one… loaded with badass songs…
I chose two for you…
🎶 “I Should Have Told You”
🎶 “Angels Take a Soul”
Former Godsmack drummer Tommy Stewart was announced as the band’s new drummer… but was unable to perform on the album due to other commitments… so Josh Freese and Tommy Lee performed drums in his place.
Also it’s cool how Toryn joined the band… there’s a bonus video about it below… check it out…
Also I have a famous friend who’s friends with Tommy Lee… well… he used to be my friend… we don’t talk anymore… story for another time…
Hope yall enjoy… I’m going to bed…

What was the best compliment you’ve received?
I’ve had some kind words over the years… but one stands above the rest…
It came through a window…
Back in the late 90s… I was living in a little downstairs apartment outside Atlanta… just me… a guitar… and a lot going on in life…
Most nights I’d sit by that open window and play… sing… pour it all out…
What I didn’t know…
Was that someone was listening…
There was a girl in the neighborhood… and for about a month… she would come by at night… lean up against the outside of my building… just out of sight…
And listen…
She told me later… she’d wait, hoping I’d be there… that my songs helped her get through things she was dealing with…
That she would just stand there… breathing it in… and for a little while…
She could forget her life…
One night… she finally said hello…
And I’ll never forget all the things she said to me…
That my music gave her peace… even if just for a moment…
I’ve never had a better compliment than that…
Not applause… not praise…
Just knowing that something coming out of my heart… reached someone else’s…
And helped them breathe a little easier…
That’s everything to me…
