I have been writing from the time I could play my guitar at 12 years old, I'm 72 now and for the last few years I've been writing Christian music.
I'm a good ole boy from Georgia. In the early 70's I started a cover band, The Re-Creation. We played local gigs for several years. We all started having families and other jobs paid a lot more, so we gave up on music. I've dabbled in song writing over the years. I've been a Christian for a long time but, and as I've gotten older, I feel I have a calling from God to write Christian music. There are enough of my old lady done left with my dog songs. I'm sharing the good news of Jesus and His plan for salvation to an increasingly damaged world. My hash tag is #JesusLovesYou The love of Jesus comes before everything else.

Story behind the song
I was going through a bad time and feeling some of friends had tuned their back to me. One afternoon a summer storm hit as I look out the door the small pine trees were bending over from the wind.
Lyrics
When the Storm Came 2011 By Donnie Priest The trees were bending over, from the storms strong gale It was pouring down rain, it started to hail The lighting did strike, thunder roared real loud Sky was getting darker, like covered by a shroud (Chorus) When the storm came, when the storm came When the storm came, I was alone When the storm came, when the storm came When the storm came, you were gone Well the storm came upon us, it started getting rough I guess in the end, youd had enough We all have to live, with decisions weve made You can stand and fight, or run away (Chorus) When the storm came, when the storm came When the storm came, I was alone When the storm came, when the storm came When the storm came, you were gone (Bridge) We all hope that sunny days will never end We never have to look too hard, to find a friend In the middle of the night, when the storm was bearing down I looked everywhere, you were not to be found I know it is coming, the sun going to shine Ill pick up the pieces; Ill claim what is mine I always thought, it would be you and me I guess the future, is not ours to see (Chorus) When the storm came, when the storm came When the storm came I was alone When the storm came, when the storm came When the storm came, you were gone When the storm came, I was alone When the storm came, you were gone
