God on the Shoulder of the Highway…
It was New Year’s Eve… 1997 into ’98…
I had survived…
The year — I mean… I wasn’t sure I would…
The heart I have today…
was still shaping back then…
burning… crushing…
maybe it was the fireworks outside —
or maybe just my own…
There was a party that night…
at my friends’ house — Sam and Becky…
their place was always full of people…
I spent so many weekends there that year…
it was like my second home…
crazy nights… good nights…
we were all so close…
often I’d bring my guitar…
and we’d sit around until morning…
singing songs… drinking…
and sometimes… yeah… drugs…
I was on an intense champagne high…
I’d had way too much…
I normally didn’t get like that…
I could usually hold my own…
but not that night…
my plan was to crash there…
just pass out on a couch like always…
but around 3 am…
I had some words with a friend of mine…
she pissed me off…
so….. stubborn and spinning…
I grabbed my keys…
made my way to my car…
and decided to attempt the 45-minute drive
back to my apartment…
I honestly don’t remember much
about the first half of the drive…
I somehow managed to make it
onto Interstate 75 North…
and then everything just
kind of went black…
I remember hearing…
and feeling…
this repetitive vibrating —
a low rumbling sound…
I thought I was dreaming…
the sound just kept going…
finally… I opened my eyes…
the strangest moment…
still hard to describe properly with words…
I had passed out while driving…
slipped over
into the passenger seat
of my Camaro…
and my car
was still doing about 60 mph…
riding the shoulder of Interstate 75…
inches from the guardrail…
the sound I was hearing —
the rumble strip…
screaming at me that I was in danger…
I sat up immediately…
grabbed the wheel…
pulled myself back into the travel lanes…
just in the nick of time…
there was an abandoned vehicle
directly in front of me…
I missed it by only a few feet…
I was completely sober now…
I kept driving home…
I just couldn’t believe it…
I could have killed someone…
and almost killed myself…
then…
I had this powerful spiritual moment…
I felt a Presence…
a Holy Voice inside…
I don’t know how long I was asleep…
but I know…
someone had the steering wheel…
I was sure of it…
I talked with Him
the rest of the way home…
and somewhere
on that dark stretch of road…
I made my resolutions
for 1998…

one broken summer… one beautiful moment…
The Summer of 97`
was rough man…
like couldn’t get any worse…
far as the heart goes…
go read my story First Love
and you will get it… 😁
…but now looking back…
it was beautiful…
So I did three things that summer…
went to work…
played my guitar…
hung out with friends…
killing everything with drugs and alcohol…
straight up gunning my life down…
At the time… I was living in a downstairs apartment…
in the burbs of Atlanta…
That summer… I spent many a day and night…
many an hour…
sitting on the edge of my bed…
right in front of an open window…
strumming my strings…
singing my blues away…
learning new songs…
holding fast to old ones…
I had just finished a concert to myself lol…
when I heard a soft hello…
Then I looked… and there —
at my window —
was the beautiful face
that belonged to the voice…
She lived in the neighborhood…
I didn’t know her…
With my guitar still in my hands…
we talked — through the screen —
She was kind… honest…
open…
She told me that for a month…
she would pass by my window…
hoping I would be there…
singing…
playing…
She told me how much she looked forward to it…
how the music helped her…
because she was dealing with much in her life…
She said she would lean against my building…
beside my window…
just out of sight…
listen for a while…
breathe in deep…
she said my feelings —
that I was giving away in those songs —
she recognized them…
as her own…
She said she’d get lost in my songs…
forget things…
for a little while…
I’ve never had a better compliment…
So I told her…
my window… was her window…
my song… was her song…
and she was welcome… anytime…

While writing this I listened to the album Kerosene Hat by Cracker… from 1993…
She was definitely… a hidden gem… from the b-side… 😎`’.,

Big Daddy Weave 🎶 I Know 🎶 We Want The World To Hear…
Today I want to spotlight one of my favorite faith side artists… Big Daddy Weave… They formed in 1998 after meeting at the University of Mobile in Alabama… They have been pouring out honest heartfelt worship ever since… Their lead singer is Mike Weaver… and this one is personal for me… because I once served in music ministry with two of his family members… so this band has always felt close to home for me…
I have two powerful songs for you today…
“I Know” released in 2o19 on the album.. When The Light Comes… This one means a lot to me… I had just found out about Charlie Kirk… I was sitting in silence… grieving… then this song began to play… it became a moment I will never forget…
“We Want The World To Hear” from 2o08 on the album.. What Life Would Be Like… An amazing album… probably my favorite from them…
I hope you enjoy these today… 🙏

On my darkest day…
From my deepest pain…
Through it all… my heart… will choose… to sing… Your praise… `.°-‘.^ …t`

Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech?
Yes and yes…
I’m a musician
I play guitar and piano
I sing
I’ve played parties
I’ve performed in bars and nightclubs and concerts and music festivals
I’ve been in bands — both secular and Christian
I was also part of a worldwide group of musicians called The Pond
We played music festivals and online concerts together.. which were broadcast across the globe…
Later on.. I became a worship leader in ministry and church
I also spent many Sundays playing music for residents in nursing homes and mental health hospitals
I’ve lived a pretty crazy life
And.. for four years.. I traveled all across the state of Florida as a guest speaker — speaking in churches and at different events — telling my life story… `.°-
Stages and lights and microphones and crowds..
Rooms full of people..
Rooms with only a few..
Today though…
the stage is just a memory.. just words…
Been there…
done that…

‘Broken Window Serenade — Whiskey
Myers (cover) 🎶 LaurahLouisa
Psalm 34:4 (NIV)
“I sought the Lord, and He answered me;
He delivered me from all my fears.” ⚘️
Strange Cup Of Tea 🎶 Sister Hazel (acoustic version)
So I thought I would stick with Sister Hazel a while longer and give you a chance to get to know them.. this song “Strange Cup Of Tea” is another Hidden Gem from them.. it was released in 2000.. honestly.. they have so many great unpopular or kind of unknown songs.. I could stay with them for a long time.. I learned something about them last night.. their loyal fans are known as “Hazelnuts” haha.. I didn’t know that 😁.. and on this song.. Drew Copeland sings lead.. not Ken Block.. they switched it up.. I included a few other videos from them.. also.. I found out Ken Block founded a charity called “Lyrics For Life” to help children with pediatric cancer.. I thought that was cool.. I hope you enjoy…
