This is a song to remember 9-11 about how when how important it is to remember that there are more good people that bad when people do bad things. Features Paul Tillery on Stand Up Bass

This is one of my latest efforts and performed by A Writer's Paradise.

Started with a guitar riff I'd had for ages, with the working title "The Rebel Song" until I settled on a concept, which is somewhat "Dead or Alive" in theme I guess. As usual, a work tape more than demo!

What is the Holy Spirit? Like a breeze through an open window.

A few years ago, a friend invited me to join a group of 6 other guys who rode (MWF) bicycles on trails in our general area. Not long after I joined this group, I invited my neighbor to ride with us. Shortly thereafter, my neighbor shared with the guys, “Jack’s a songwriter.” One of the guys asked, “Why don’t you write a song about us riding our bikes?” This became a real challenge, as I couldn’t imagine a storyline to go along with bike riding. But, it finally hit me. As long as I can remember, whenever I would hear a rhythmic pattern, i.e. running track, marching to the cadence of our high school band, or peddling my bike around town, I would typically get an earworm (a riff that would loop repeatedly in my head) of the flavor-of-the-month hit song.

OOOoooooooo it's my general psyche.

This is typical of the genre which is most comfortable for me, although I write from children's lullabies to heavy metal. This song has been used in two independent films, a commercial and a soap opera.

A prayer for unity. For compassion. For America.

The seasons of life as a never-ending thread.
