This is the third track off of our first album. It's a letter to the oak tree in the corn / soy field 20 miles east of Ada, Ohio on the old route 30.

I'm by nature and first love a guitar player and singer. I write the songs and play them, record them, mix them, that way if it sounds like garbage, hey, I'm the only one to blame. I still get a lot of feedback, input, and individual tracks from my brother Lance, or L Bone Capone. He's on here. check him out. He'll play a bass line or guitar riff for me here and there and gives me a lot of direction when i'm composing. My interests include everything that doesn't start with a C and end in OUNTRY. As you can see from listening to my tracks (thank to all who do, please leave feedback. Sometimes it's not so bad hearing "this track totally blows"). We all want to be the best we can and it does no one with skills any good to be complimented on something they did that's just not very good. Criticism is what makes us grow, compliments let us know we have. Update 10/16/2012  I just wanted to say that as awesome as I am....I'm just totally kidding. What I really wanted to share is that I had a listen to all the music I've ever posted and while my compositions are nowhere near perfect or even acceptable to some, with all the support and feedback I receive on tracks I really need it on, I feel that over the last 2 years I have grown so much as a musician in general. The cloud is like, truly a family. I've learned so much from everyone, especially a few key players. Just, thanks. As musicians whether we're new at it, not good, incredible or other we all have a few things in common, for most of us it's why we're alive. I have a theory. We musicians who in our own way are able to release have an easily taken for granted gift. We are the way we are because we are empathetic to the world not just as it relates to us but how everything relates to everything. I feel pain and anger and happiness just by witnessing something that has nothing to do with me. We who are so sensitive and prone to be affected and even overwhelmed by emotion have a gift that others do not. We are able to purge the sensation overload through our creative sonic expressions. I never write lyrics down. I just sing. Every song with a date next to it will tell you exactly how I felt and what was going on in my life at the moment I wrote it. It's an audible snapshot, but better, because music unlike pictures, can instill feelings. I can make you smile if you're angry, and vice versa. All near breaking suicidal moments are curable with the right song....like don't stop believing by journey. Greatest song ever written. I didn't say best, I said greatest. You find me one person who will change the station as opposed to turning it up and belting out those hope inspiring lyrics :-) thanks soundcloud. You're my favorite place to be, head in the clouds
