I'm from New York City, and I like country music.  I was dismayed to hear how many country songs tell me I can't possibly be a "real man" or fully enjoy country music just because I grew up in the city, so I wrote this tune as a rebuttal of that "reverse elitism".  And for anybody who happens to like Telecasters and cowboy hat.

My personal favorite radio show is "Storming the Ramparts" on WSOU (89.5FM in the NJ/NYC area).  For two hours each week, they play nothing but the most epic metal (including my band, MorningStarlett!).  I decided that Storming the Ramparts needed a theme song, so I wrote this.

Tina Kenny Jones and I recorded this for our "wedding album" -- a short CD of music we performed that we gave out as favors at our wedding.

I wrote this to use as a mother-son dance at my wedding.  I think my mom liked it!

Somebody requested that I cover Ace of Spades on the mandolin... so I did!
