Still To Rock No More

This was recorded  at Ripcord Studios in  Vancouver WA  also..... I wrote this song after my Dad passed away.  I got to thinking about how Mamas and Daddys were the hands that rock the cradle....As I got going, it slipped into just Mamas...You don't always have control over a song...Sometimes it takes off and does what it wants to do....After  I was through, I decided it was the way  it should be so I left it.  People say that you should keep going over a song and try to change this or that... But sometimes you say what you have to say and that is that.......This is available on cdbaby.com  and iTunes  plus many other sites.  on cd In The Beginning vol 2.

When the children were younger, I would make the dental appointments for after school.   That then, would put us  into  the going home traffic..  Even though I drove the posted speed, someone was always pushing me..  One day when I got home, I was so tired of the traffic that I sat down and wrote Tailgater.   So it exists thanks to all the impatient going home drivers............ 

ALL OF OUR DREAMS

This  Song was written shortly after my Dad

passed away.  My Mom always liked it so well...

It sort of tells the story of a person's life,

then being alone again.   When you lose a parent,

so many things go through your mind.  I guess

that is what happened to me after Daddy passed

away.
