This section will improve vastly when I get a video camera to call my own. As for now, enjoy the clips that I have put together through the use of my "cool neighbors" video camera, as well as the illustrations I was able to "string together" by using other videos I found over the net.
  I'll be the first to admit it, this video will not be easy to watch for many of you. It deals with Homelessness, Addiction, and Injustice. I wrote this song, "I Found God Today," way before the release of George Straight's song, "I Saw God Today". Both songs are good, but very different. If nothing else, I hope it makes you think outside the box.
Here's one my buddy, Burt, and me playing at the "Dockside Lounge" on Edisto Island, SC. It was a great Feb 2008, and the place was rocking! You would have thought it was summer! If your ever go to Edisto Island, SC, make sure you visit the Dockside Restaurant and then go wash your meal down with some "friendly liquid" at Dockside Lounge!  
  This tune is called, "Nothing But Love For You." I borrowed the neighbors camera and shot some footage at Edisto Beach. No, I didn't intend for any of this to be used to illustrate any songs of mine, but I wanted to up load one of my tunes to my "You Tube" account, and this is all I had to use. It works in a silly, tropical, avant-guard kind of way. Enjoy!
This may be my favorite video!
I wrote a Christmas song called, "Christmas Brings The Child Out In Me". I looked all over the internet for clips to illustrate the feeling of Christmas that I felt while writing this song. I would love to see this song one day become a Christmas Standard.
 
  Here I am doing a live performance of "Christmas Brings The Child Out In Me". It's kind of dark and noisy in this bar, but it's my kind of place! This is "The Back Yard Tavern" in Augusta, GA.
Don't go throwing pie in my face just yet. This song, "C.O.W., - Causality Of War" has strong, personal feelings about our current war effort. It is not a song against our military at all! It only states that a casualty is truly just that- a casualty. I'm just happy that I live in a country where I am "free" to express my point of view, and you are free to do so as well.  
  No music here! However, I did use part of this clip to illustrate my song, "Nothing But Love For You" - seen on this page as well. Mother, Mother Ocean- Sings to us everyday. I was fortunate enough to have a personal interview with her on this day.
