The song “Nothin’ was born during a trip I took with my son Caven in the summer of 2017 to see
my friend and fellow musician Derwood, his wife Megan & their daughter Harleigh in Colorado
Springs, Colorado. I had hit a bit of rough patch in my personal life and needed to get away from
the hustle and bustle of life in Los Angeles. One night during our nightly jam sessions in the
garage, Megan, who was learning to play the Mandolin at the time, brought us some chords she
had put together and and asked if we could turn it into something. Immediately the chords spoke
to me and the lyrics that Derwood and I started putting on paper started to tell a bittersweet
story. All of the feelings I had been having about relationships ending and the way people
change and grow over time started flowing into heartfelt lyrics which we quickly wrote onto the
side of Derwoods deep freezer with a dry erase marker in big bold black letters. It was the
therapy that I needed. When I looked at the lyrics again the next day I felt better about my
situation and decided to work on being a better human being. Now, when I perform this song, it
takes me back to a time when I thought I was going to lose it all and it makes me grateful for the
fact that even through the trials and tribulations of life, it worked out in the end. I’m also
reminded that people can grow apart, but with love, friendship and a burning desire, they have
the ability to grow together again and make any dream a reality.

Nothin'

I've been everywhere and nowhere. hoping for a miracle.
