Hope this is better.

I’be been greatly influenced throughout my writing career by the lyrics and styles of Dylan and Cohen. I’ve been lucky enough to have found co-writers that compose and fit my styles. This song has been featured in an indie movie and two soap operas.

Two people started dating and the girl was always ready to go home after the date, the man would ask her to stay every time, this song is from his point of view , told by her. Two people who want to be together but are afraid of becoming attached,

Just a song about the beginning of a relationship and the "Small Talk" that goes along with it.

This was basically my very first song (A "Poor Me" song); one that I wrote as I dropped out of college, following a divorce. I found work quickly in a band (keyboard) and sang this song with a nice reception. However, it never seemed quite finished. But, about 2 years ago, I got an idea similar to Brad Paisley's introduction to Waitin' On A Woman with Andy Griffith, when an old friend called to tell me he'd be in my area and wondered if we could get together for a brew. So, I added a new introduction to my 47-year-old song.

This song tells about the feeling you have when you first meet someone that you have in instant attraction to, when you're at the point in your life when you're ready to fall head over heels in love.

MY FLORIDA HOME (written by Jack Speer & Julie Speer, production & vocals by Tim Buppert):

In 2008, Florida’s state song, Down By The Suwannee River, by Stephen Foster, was deemed racially offensive and a contest was launched by the State of Florida to select a new state song. This was the song my wife, Julie, and I submitted. It’s worth noting that a song was never selected and no further word was ever communicated about this contest. I had considered trying to get this song to Jimmy Buffett...

things that happen in our lives leave memories, impressions or "Beautiful Scars" ...

I wrote this song as a memorial to my younger (by 2 yrs), gospel singer brother, Billy, who recently died (11/1/16) of Lewy Body Dementia. We were quite different in so many ways and I wasn't as kind to him as I wish I'd been in our youth. He loved making people laugh, even to the point of being self-deprecating and it would embarrass me. Nevertheless, he was crazy talented and, no matter how much I would try to compose myself, he knew how to break me down and make me laugh!
