Working on a draft about a modern tale of denial wrapped up in that famous statement - 'It will never happen to me...it's really not that bad...'

Hi there!

This music contains songs I composed between 1994 - 2006. They include work in my music studio, live performances at coffee shops, and from my piano recital in 2000. The very last song is the first song I ever composed in the 6th grade (1978).

I'm currently studying the flute while working on some piano/flute pieces with my instructor. Future music will have a different website. I'll direct you to it when the material is ready.

Thank you for listening!

Story behind the song

Written for all my friends who have been killed or injured by drunk drivers over the years. I still think of you Suzy E. and Brian W.

Lyrics

The Great Denial

So our good ol' friend
Who doesn't need to feel
Was driving drunk the other night
'cross that farmer's field
He didn't see the dog 
Or the man walking home
That good ol' friend drove through them
Thinking they were snow

What have you said to me, he cried
You weren't there the other night
I will deny that time

So our good ol' friend
Who doesn't want to feel
Was sentenced early yesterday
Near that farmer's field
Those good ol' boys of Akron
Came to his defense
But the family weeping next to them
Made more common sense

What have you done to us? they cried
Daddy's gone; this happened
We will not deny that time

I never touch the stuff, he said
It's really only in your head
I never touch the stuff, he said

So our good ol' friend
Who doesn't seem to feel
Is shouting at the blacken'd sky
Hoping for appeal
Just give me my final meal
Before I slowly die
And let it be the bottle, Bill
So I can feel alive

Look what you've done to me, he cried
You weren't there that other night
I will deny that time
