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
This is my family's tale...mother, sister, father all gone, why? Why you gotta not listen to the negative voices.
Lyrics
Gotta give up…gotta give it up…life’s too tough Give it up!! Gotta give up…gotta give it up…life’s too tough Give it up!! Just give in…never win…give it UP! Yellin’ this in my momma’s brain, Til’ she finally pilled life away, Too young when she was buried that day! Tellin’ this to my poppa’s brain, Drove him straight to insane, Too young when he was locked away! Whisperin’ into my sister’s brain, Then the shout of your voice came, Took a gun in her hand, such a shame! Too young for giving up, too young too let it all go, But there you go, they’re gone ‘cause they listened To what the damn voice was whisperin’, tellin’, then YELLIN’ Gotta give up…gotta give it up…life’s too tough Give it up!! Gotta give up…gotta give it up…life’s too tough Give it up!! Just give in…never win…give it UP! Ain’t no truth found in those words, Know only your song is absurd, Still they listened like others still do! It’s not fair to let you shout your words, Wanna shut you up ‘cause it’s not true, Yet on and on goes the sin you do. Pollute this world with negative words, Curse you for all the damaged crew, It ain’t too tough so we gotta fight you!! Too young for giving in, too young for all of us to go, So here we go, we’re not gone ‘cause we won’t listen To what the damn voice is whisperin’, tellin’, pure damn lies! SHUT UP…gotta shut you up…life’s to true Shut you up!! SHUT UP…gotta shut you up…life’s to true Shut you up!! We can win…don’t give in…GOTTA WIN!!
