A friend made a chance comment, wondering aloud if anyone missed her at church when she was traveling with her husband on frequent business trips. The song was made up from whole cloth but sort of written as an answer to her question.

We celebrated our 30th. wedding anniversary on the 5th. of September 2023. My wife Valery asked me to write a song to commemorate the occasion,which I happily accepted. My mission was to cram 30 years of marriage into 3 or 4 minutes. Verse 1 was easy, because it's about us meeting, falling in love and making a commitment to continue on. The hardest part was writing verse 2. It speaks about us raising our 2 children Jasmyn and Brandon in better times, trying to do the right things, by keeping them as far away as possible from the negative things of this world. It then speaks of the worse storm we had to experience, which was losing Brandon in a car accident at the age of 18 in the year 2018. Verse 3 is why we are still here today together, because of the healing power of faith and prayers. We will stay loving each other for a lifetime or a hundred years, which ever comes first, by God's grace. This song is very relatable to almost every couple, because we all go through good times and storms in our relationships and we can survive if we believe in love and have faith. I can see many artists in Country, Adult Contemporary, Pop and RnB singing "A Lifetime or a Hundred Years".

This is how I feel about my wife all of the time, and I let her know it everyday.

A good friend of mine was going through a separation, and when he told me the story of what happened, I was inspired to compose "Starting over where we left off".

A hug is the best medicine known to mankind - and we all sure need one: in the morning, at the end of the day and as often as possible squeezed in between!

Troubled Relationship.

Just a song about cruising around a small town, paved streets ready to hit a backroad with your girl

Just a song about a girl who is good at saying goodbye to various boyfriends.

A good guy realizes his hot new girlfriend is actually awful and not worth bringing as a wedding date- keep options open, being alone is better than being with a bad time.
