Video - "Fun in Heaven". Enjoy!

In loving memory of Brian Yaussi and Glenn Roberts.  

Wherever they are, I guarantee it is brighter and more fun than it was prior to their arrival. My life sure was while they were here. I started this song after Brian died. But I had to develop the skills to play it as well as I heard it in my head. In the meantime, Glenn left us too. So I revised it to include him. I miss you guys. Hope you're having fun.    

Dedicated to Brian's mother and sister, Mrs. Martha O'Donnell and Mrs. Sarah Yaussi, and Glenn's mother, Mrs. Carolyn Roberts.

Video - "Alexis & the Sea" - Enjoy! 

A song about inspiration. All true. Thank you Alexis.

Video - "Boomtown"

My love song to Denver, Colorado, and the other great places we love so much. 

Gonna guess we're not the only ones feeling this way.  

Video - "Don't Forget About Fats"

Song of gratitude to the original kings of rock 'n roll, Fats Domino,  Dave Bartholomew and their fine band.    

They deserve a biopic and another generation of fans.   Until then, this will have to do.
