I wrote this to try to stop writing oh baby songs :) They say write what you know,  so I tried to write about a few parties I'd thrown over the years as if they were one.
 Shout outs Greg Jennings on Gtr, Bobby Brewer on Gtr, George Pirelli on drums. Yours truly on bass and production. Enjoy!

Antipasto

A demo idea I did at Chris's Studio in Nashville.A sweet melodic moan. 

Vacation Song

Audey Teeter hooked me up with the talentedGeoff Thurmon who was producing some deep Christian stuff back then. This is his take on this demo.

What About Me

Another demo of the same song idea done by Woody Lingle at Chris's house one summer afternoon. We just did a little bit. What version would you like to hear fully produced?

What About Me ( My Version)

I came back to Oklahoma to write this with my good buddy Steve Crossley. We had a ball recording it...cept I can't remember where or who played drums LOL Must of had too much fun! 

BooHoo

Another Song written with the late Buck Moore. Bob Brewer on guitar done in the upstairs studio. I loved working with these guys!

Voodoo Walkin

The Third in the sessions with Larry Knight and Waldo Latowski. Written by Waldo Latowski

Sweat

One day I happened over to Chris Hicks house again. He had this track going. I wrote the lyrics and melody. I always felt we had a magic moment on this one. We never could reproduce it in session or live quite the way it went down this day. This is demo quality for sure...but the love level is HUGE for me.

Solitary Man

This production was inspired by The Four Freshmen style material my father did. I actually wrote this song 10 years earlier than when we recorded it which was about 15 years ago. Mike Turner produced this at Ted's on a trip back to OKC in the 90's. No one has ever heard this demo except for my close people. I think Boys 2 Men would kill this one. My granddaughter, Brooklyn is today's model.

Without You

Our version of the Hit by Crosby Still and Nash.

Love The One Your'e With

Lyrics by my nephew Davin Donwerth for his lovely wife,  Gtr by Joey Larsen, Bass and vocal Michael Summers

01 Take My Hand

This track is from the album More and is available for purchase on CD Baby here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/michaelsummers

Secret Love Affair

Collide

The title track for the Legacy album In My Tears. I wrote this from start to finish in 15 minutes. Rare for me. And this song has no real inspiration meaning it's a fictional account of a heart wrenched blues tunes LOL!

In My Tears

This one was about a girl I saw who fell into a drug crowd and I lost her to it.

 I had a lot of fun producing this track bringing the P funk I got from high school over into the rock stuff of this band and the electronic stuff that was happening at the time. I think we even rapped a little. Lesson to self: Unless you are Peter Gabriel...you might try not to over produce a track you cannot produce live!

High Enough

I had this idea about an argument between two people and the fantasy that the girl part would be Whitney Houston. Ha ha ..But once I heard Kay I forgot ALL about Whitney!

This one for fun.

Stand Me Up

I wrote this about my grandfather's passing. His life's journey coming to a close and me there watching, grieving. This is my account. This song can still get to me..even now. I feel grateful for have been able to put it to words and music. It was recorded one late night right after the funeral. As we were already recording the Legacy album, and used to late sessions,  Ted Curtis took the time to meet me there...turn some vibe on my guitar and we cut it live.

Old Man

This mix has a different edge to it. A different vocal day.
