DIAMONDS
Sitting in a local Tim H. coffee shop I was struck by the number of teenage mothers. At a time when young folks are trying to get their feet under them, these young mothers had an added challenge. That's what started this song but really the song is about a revealed inner beauty because I believe  we all have a beauty and a strength inside . Sometimes that beauty is not revealed until we're put under pressure. Like the song says..."until your world gets rocked, you'll never know how you'll roll"

HIGHWAY
Nothing more than a metaphor

A FIGHTING CHANCE
You can't help but be moved by the number of folks thrown out of work over the last few years. Through this song I hoped to give them a voice

SIX PACK
Merely extolling the virtues of a brew........a'la "The Girls all Get Prettier At Closing Time"
