This is a first time co-write between myself and co-writer, Betty Miller. Betty had a cut by Charlie Pride a while back, and she's also one of the founding members of our local songwriter's association. It was a real honor when she came to me, handed me a lyric sheet and said, "I think you can help me with this song." She already wrote the lyrics, but needed someone to put music and melody to it. I went into my home studio and what you hear are my thoughts on the music and melody. I am also the vocalist on this one.

This is just a general observation of a woman who has done well in her life and wants the fairy tail kind of life but is attracted to the bad boy who is really worlds away from her life and lifestyle.
This is an acoustic work tape.
I am singing and playing guitars.

The life of a song can be fascinating! First we put in the work of writing, rewriting, rewriting a second time, and sometimes rewriting a third time before producing the all important demo. Then once the demo is complete we send it out into the world and we wait, and we wait, and we wait!

My neighbors "Hank and Naureen" were lovely. They were in their late 80's - one day after coming back from vacation I saw Naureen in the yard and asked her what Hank was up to. She told me had passed away a few days earlier. I was so sad and I wrote "With You" as I imagined what Naureen would be going through. I played her the song when it was finished and she really loved it which made my day.
