Some people do nothing to help those who have fought our wars. Too many hide behind the bumper stickers they put on their cars hoping to make it look like they have done something to help when in fact they have merely pasted a bumper sticker onto their car. What does the phase "I Support Our Troops" mean to people?. You can't just say it. You have to do it. As I put together my lyric I had hoped it would cause some people to see themselves in the picture I tried to paint. Perhaps they will stand up and lend a hand to the needy. Not sure about a genre for this song so I chose folk.

This one is about Judge Parker, a real person and a judge who preferred to hang his criminals rather than put them in jail. Surely he wasn't all that popular. This is one of our historical songs.

No particular story behind this one. The chorus came to me as I was driving. Later I wrote the verses around it. I wanted to try writing for the Southern Gospel genre but my concern with this song is that it is not biblical, per se.

This song is about the death of the steam-engine train that was replaced with the diesel. The story tells of the train's last run across the country. My co-writer and I have written numerous songs about people, places and things from out of the past. We are considering putting them onto a CD to make available at various Historical Societies in New England.
