It's just me, folks. Me, my instrutments, and my omnipresent muse. Blues, jazz, rock, country - any mix which fits is what I do.

My music is an adventure of spirit - frequently, my freely-given gift to those I find myself with.

Fatherless children - they don't get everything they need.
Fatherless children have a very hard time, trying to grow up... healthy.
And, the feminazi lawyers want to make a world without fathers.
It's a will to power, sucking money from the mothers,
   And, they claim       it's "for the sake of     social change".
Fatherless children - they don't get everything they need.

Mother wants the world to say, she sacrifices.
All the friends she made in aerobics class, have taught her devices.
And, her boyfriends have no vested interest, in replacing fathers.
Children grow up so fast, when their childhood is trashed -
    and, innocence can't   be retrieved.

Fatherless children do the best they can, in a bad situation.
Broken home children need their fathers more than just weekend vacations.
A life of crime, to have to grow up without your father.
When you're kidnapped in court, in your parents' divorce -
   and, you're nothing more than   property.
Fatherless children - they don't get everything they need - oh, no!
Fatherless children have a very hard time, trying to grow up healthy.
