Capn' Woody writes and produces Spoken Word pieces from the poems and lyrics that wander his mind!
Hello, Clippers sailed on many a journey, I invite you to journey with me ---- I am a simple man who has journeyed near and far. My experiences have taken me to foreign lands and across the country. One constant has guided me, there are great people and great beauty everywhere. I work in the education arena now but my career has spanned many fields. I have loved, laughed, struggled and cried. My foundation is set in a belief of more good than evil, more fair than not, more time for admiration, less time for hate. May you enjoy my work and may we make beautiful music together someday.

Story behind the song
I was writing representatives to urge their support for The Fair Tax Act (H.R. 25 & S. 25). It was near Christmas and I thought it would be a good way to end my letter. The last part, on voting, was actually written during the 2000 campaign to urge citizens to vote. It was published in several Nevada papers at the time. The two seemed meant for each other when I turned the piece into spoken word.
Lyrics
Give us freedom from income tax, Help our parents to finally relax, Restore our land of liberty, Set our precious children free! Weakening what once was strong, Tax burdens carried much too long, Within our grasp is freedom's ring, Consumption taxes will help us sing! Please have courage, lead the packs, Rip out the dreaded income tax, From its roots so our roots can grow, Restore our nation and our pride will show! Challenge ‘ye citizens our freedom to keep-- Shout your desires, through faith take the leap-- Failure to do so will our future be darkened-- In your soul conviction must be hardened! A nation’s future will never reach pure utopia-- This message you read contains my real phobia-- Fellow Americans will not vote consistent-- The leaders will only become far more distant! Our time is at hand for actions through polling-- Let few not control our governments dolling-- Passage to a brighter future have we begun-- If we’ll get out and vote we citizens have won!
