A raw, soulful country track that captures the heartache, grit, and honesty of a man (song by women...she just nailed it so I kept her voice on the track) who's had enough—and tonight, it's whiskey’s turn to talk. Written by JD Hodge, a retired lyricist whose near-death experience brought decades of unreleased songs to light.

Last Night (I put the whiskey down)

2-PLUGGED - Retired

“Another Friday” is a soft, reflective ballad for the quieter kind of end-of-week. Rather than celebrating the weekend rush, it honors the gentle rhythm of retired life, creative reflection, and the simple joy of reuniting with a loved one at day’s end. With a dreamy, orchestral-folk-rock atmosphere, the song paints a portrait of cloudy skies, memory, and the passing of time—with warmth, grace, and presence.

Leadership Lowdown | Sheri Jones - The News is Only Part of The Story...a Life of Service

Once known for enforcing the law over a nearly 40-year career, Peter Fappiano now spends his spare time enforcing flavor with a new mobile barbecue venture. The Chesterfield police chief and Goshen resident recently launched Cleaver & Cigar Smoke House. 


Verse 1

He walked the streets of Chesterfield,
Kept the peace through rain and snow.
Nearly forty years of service,
Watchin' generations grow.
Now the siren's traded silence,
For the crackle of a flame,
Where the hickory smoke is rising,
And the folks all know his name.

Refrain

From badge to barbecue, he's still standin' true,
Serving up the good life, one plate for me and you.
From duty to flavor, he's got nothing to prove,
Chief of the smokehouse now - he's got nothin' left to lose.

Verse 2

In Goshen where the hills roll easy,
He built his dream on wheels.
Cleaver & Cigar, the smokehouse sign,
Tells you just how good it feels.
He swaps the cuffs for carving knives,
The grill his daily beat,
And justice tastes like brisket now,
Tender, bold, and sweet.

Refrain

From badge to barbecue, he's still standin' true,
Serving up the good life, one plate for me and you.
From duty to flavor, he's got nothing to prove,
Chief of the smokehouse now - he's got nothin' left to lose.

Bridge

Some folks hang their hats too early,
Some forget what they can do,
But Peter found a second calling -
Justice seasoned through and through.

Final Refrain

From badge to barbecue, that smoke tells the tale,
Of a man who kept his promise and now rides a different trail.
From service to savor, he's still payin' his dues,
Chief of the smokehouse now - still protectin' what's true.

Badge to Barbecue

Important Notice for Inquiries:
If you’re reaching out regarding music collaborations, promotions, or record label opportunities, please include verifiable identity links.

About My Music:
I create original, genre-blending music that fuses rock, classical, easy listening, and experimental styles. Each song is crafted with deep emotional honesty, often inspired by my own poetry, journal reflections, or personal stories. Whether instrumental or vocal, my focus is to uplift, inspire, and resonate with listeners on a real, human level.
I don’t settle for “good enough.” Every track goes through hundreds of iterations, shaped by a balance of intuition and precision. I use advanced AI music tools to explore sound and emotional tone, then refine everything in Logic Pro for professional production quality. It's a fusion of heart and technology, and through it, I aim to connect, heal, and inspire—one song at a time.

I’m JD Hodge — Oklahoma-born, red dirt-raised, and songwriting for over 30 years.

In 2024, I flatlined on an operating table. Cardiac arrest. Everything changed.

When I came back, the words came with me — like they’d been waiting their turn. Since then, the songs haven’t stopped. I write what’s real: struggle, hope, grit, and grace — stories meant to be felt.

You’ll hear pieces of my past, my people, and the kind of heartland truth you can’t fake. These songs aren’t just mine — they’re for anyone who’s fought through silence and still found a voice.
