Written for my band XOXO, on the recording guest appearance by Chris Hicks on sax, with band members Rick Barclay on keyboards, Daryn Buck on drums, Larry Moore on bass and JD Wiggins on vocals, guitar and strings. The trick is finding out who you really are, so that you actually CAN be that... God knows, and He will be happy to show you.

XOXO

Be Yourself or Die

The Christmas Song (Live at GodWhy 12/11/16)

Unlikely Suspects at GodWhy cover the classic "Five O'Clock World" by The Vogues from 1965. What a coooool song. I had never played this before.

Five O'Clock World mp3

This torchy little tune was a collaboration with one of my favorite/best writing partners ever, Teresa Pitt-Sholar. She would bring the hooks and  the biggest portion of the melody, I'd write the music and we'd finish the lyrics and melodies together. Miss writing with her... a bunch!

Love Me or Leave Me Alone

Here is the performance of the song that the  "flashback pic" that I just posted. Had to go back and listen to this live recording to make sure I didn't screw it up too badly!  That was an interesting day, not anticipating having to sing that song (scheduled singer called in sick that morning). It does pay to be familiar with as many aspects of the tunes you're playing as possible. Dodged a bullet on this one. Gotta' say, though... the band KILLED it!
