This version of Blackbird is unlike any you have heard before.  I arranged this  song with fancy guitar work and duo vocals to push Blackbird beyond it's standard listening limits.  Hope you enjoy!

Blackbird

One Christmas I was speaking with my cousin who lives in Hagerman, Idaho.  He was describing the snow falling, the people ready for Christmas and this song came to me.  Christmas in Hagerman is a reminder of Christmas without the annual hype. On my CD HOME FIRE

Last Day was written to share a philosophy of a dear friend who passed, Father Daniel Donovan.  His passing was not a sad event rather it was a reminder of what a life should be ... living it to the fullest, every day, every minute. On my CD HOME FIRE

When my son was young I built him a wooden rocking horse.  One day I walked into our house seeing him "Rocking & Rolling" on the hardwood dining room floor.  That moment inspired this lively song with full orchestration, and multiple vocal tracks. On my CD HOME FIRE

For all the years kids go sit on Santa's lap; one year I wanted to do the same.  I asked Santa for a night out with my wife, dinner, a show, then time to do what adults like to do in abundance.  With out a blink Santa said, "What Sleep!" and this song was born. On my CD HOME FIRE

In Philadelphia I went to see Richie Havens.  After his concert we met in his dressing room and spoke about what we do as musicians.  We talked about our audience and the only reason we are here is because you are there.  We talked about always playing each song we play as if it were the first time, because it is.  I wrote Tonight based on our conversation that night.  On my CD HOME FIRE
