This is one of the first songs I wrote, way back in 1993.  It's a musical pictorial to my home in West Texas---specifically, Lubbock and the South Plains.  Those who aren't from there won't understand, but those of us who are know there's no place like it...and that's a good thing.  Like the song says---"Dreamin' of the Caprock"

The Highway Home

This is just a simple song about my dog.  He's a big Chocolate Lab named "Charlie", and at times affectionately known as "Dumbass".  Enjoy!

Growing up, I absolutely loved my grandparents.  My grandfather was called "Papa", was like no other man I've ever known, except my dad.  Needless to say, I had some big shoes to fill when my middle girl told us she was pregnant with my grandchild, but it's a challenge that I take up with gusto.  And the name, "Papa", is even more special now, as that's what Shelby, Atticus, Ellie, and Andrew call me. 

This song is both about them, and dedicated to them.  Love you guys!

Written on 2014, "Don't Change" is in honor of my youngest, Taylor.  It was written in celebration of her HS graduation, and was "premiered" at the Owl Wine Bar in Elgin, Texas, on June 6, 2014.
