MY FAVORITE CONCERT EXPERIENCE:
Last weekend at Plymouth Coffee Bean in Plymouth, MI. Intimate room, great art on the wall, my wife was there, satin curtain on back of stage, played between two great acts, sold fifteen CDs, and the sound guy stayed on the board and added reverb when it sounded good. Best show I can remember in a while.
I WROTE THIS SONG BECAUSE…
I wrote this song as a thank you to those who have shown love to me. It is inspired by an old hymn I grew up singing in church titled “Love Lifted Me”.
