He fixed my life

Fought everyman’s battle, I was ruthless to the core
A tongue full of obscenities, never satisfied always wanting more
I never gave nothing without expecting a return
Deeper in sin, backslider, knowing surely I would burn

Life caving in on me the Hound of heaven at the door
One Good Friday went to see “The Passion of the Christ” in 2004
Then Easter Sunday I repented, confessed Him before men.
Baptized in the Spirit my new journey had just began

He fixed my life, like He fixed that piece of steel
Right before my eyes He made sure I knew He was real
Revealed Himself to me like His Word says
He fixed my life, now that old man in me is dead

It took acts of obedience to empower me to stand firm
I resisted the devil, casing things down, confessing His Word
Took every thought captive and imagination into obedience to Christ
Became born-again, Jesus fixed my life

I experience the fear of God, felt the wages of my sin
Like Paul said I ran the race determined in Christ I could win
One day at work I made a bad cut in a piece of steel
Then stood in awe, as He fixed the hole my finger once did feel

He fixed my life, like He fixed that piece of steel
Right before my eyes He made sure I knew He was real
Revealed Himself to me like His Word says
He fixed my life, now that old man in me is dead

They overcome the evil one, by the Blood of the Lamb
By the word of their testimony they love not their life unto the end
If you don’t Jesus its God’s will that you do
He fixed my life; He can do the same for you

He fixed my life, like He fixed that piece of steel
Right before my eyes He made sure I knew He was real
Revealed Himself to me like His Word says
He fixed my life, now that old man in me is dead

Yes, He fixed my life, now that old man in me is dead
Thank You Jesus

The kinda guy I'm

2009-10-13T01:55:00.008-04:00

Well, if I'm your weakness
What are you to me?
You like being my heartache, my only misery
Its a case of blind justice, like where the river bends
You gotta hold of my heart, like the wages of sin

Yet I take the road less traveled
for a Hoochie-Coochie Man
I put on my disguise when I'm caught by your eyes
That's the kinda guy I'm

Ya got the kind of body, makes a man lose control
Like milk & honey, ya trade for your soul
There's a price to pay, for every granted wish
And I face the gates of hell every time I deal with this

:Chorus:
Again, I take the road less traveled
for a Hoochie-Coochie man
Yea, I put on my disguise when I'm caught by your eyes
That's the kinda guy I'm

:Bridge:
I guess I'll always love you
Forever cursed, I'll always be your fool

:Chorus:
Yet I take the road less traveled
for a Hoochie-Coochie man
Yea, I put on my disguise when I'm caught by your eyes
That's the kinda guy I'm

Yeah, again I take the road less traveled
For a Hoochie-Coochie man
Yeah, I put on my disguise when I'm caught by your eyes
that's the kinda guy I'm

Yeah, I put on my disguise when I'm caught by your eyes
that's the kinda guy I'm

Don't you think its time we said goodbye

I don't need you bring'n me down
You've already done that, a time or two
Really don't want you hang'n round
The feeling of your presence just makes me blue

Seeds we've sown have been trampled to the ground
Promised dreams that turned out untrue
Listen'd to words that I can't make out the sounds
Accoustical illusions from you

Woe, oh, ohhh
Don't you think its time we said goodbye

We owe it to ourselves, not to live a lie

Woe, oh, oh

We've tore it all down, so why even try?

Woe, oh, oh

Don't you think its time we said goodbye

I've heard tales of ren'dez-vous at night

Your love's been twisted, I'd ensue

There's no chance for you to make it right

I see no reason to continue

Constant battles, abuse and we fight

The conclusion is way, over due

Thought I'd hold on but that was your oversight

This dissolution is something we should pursue

Woe, oh, ohh

Don't you think its time we said goodbye

We owe it to ourselves, not to live a lie

Woe, oh, oh

We've tore it all down, so why even try?

Woe, oh, oh

Don't you think its time we said goodbye

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahhh

Don't you think its time we said goodbye

Woe, oh, ohh

Don't you think its time we said goodbye

Yeah, yeah, yeahhh

Don't you think its time we said goodbye

New slide video's on YouTube

2009-02-06T09:18:00.007-05:00

The last few days I have finished 2 videos on YouTube of 2 original songs.

The first one "Talk to the hand"

Was wrote with that line as the hook phase along with a story line I knew to much about. Arguing and bad relationship communication skills. LOL.

The next one, since we are on the eve of Valentines Day here in February.

I did a video of this love song I wrote in 1996.

I remember I had not really wrote a true love song as of then.

So I drove into this one.

After putting somethings of my experiences of the intensities of it all.

When love, is right at its first moments of the development of the relationship.

I maintained the focus of its power and changing effect it has on someone.

For the one they are hoping will let it grow.

I changed my singing style some and made it tense but at the same time rewarding in the melody and music line of it.

I had to kind of get into a Joe Crocker state of mind, to pull it off.

Next is a cover song from the band "Blue Sage" in 1998.

That I had recorded when we at 5 members.

I find it hard to present some of the songs I either sung or wrote.

Because of what they sometimes say in them.

I in no way feel that way in what the present, they are believable.

But in reality they testify where I was, and struggle inside me.

The lyric's to "Your magic's work'n on me" can seen on this blog.

These can be seen on the side bar YouTube on this page. Enjoy!

The Launching Pad

2009-02-02T00:04:00.011-05:00

You had interest in me, I never had
You believed in me, said I wasn’t half bad
But I drove, you away, yeah that made me sad

To lose your love,
Cause I was on the launch’n pad
Cause I was on the launch’n pad

I had a few dollars, I leased my soul
I wondered off, to places unknown
I thrived, in jealousy, completely outta control

To lose your love,
For ever I must pay for the seeds I sown
For ever I must pay for the seeds I sown

I’m still standing, on the launching pad
Going over all the good times, that we had
I guess, it was me, all along, that made you mad

To lose your love,
Cause I was on the launch’n pad
While I was on the launch’n pad
Cause I was on the launch’n pad
While I was on the launch’n pad

In my other life

2009-01-27T01:38:00.023-05:00

In my other life, I marched troops in formations

I manned the gun and turned them into men

In my other life, I had so many wayward women

They broke me down and made me, what I am

They showed me roads that men seldom travel
They taught me things can work only if, you try
That losing could mean your really winning
They showed me sorrow, and taught me, how to cry

In my other life, I consumed minds recreations
I made peace with myself, these insecurities, could not stand
In my other life, I lived with incarcerations
They broke me down and made me, what I am

They showed me roads that men seldom travel
They taught me things can work only if, you try
That losing could mean your really winning
They showed me sorrow, and taught me, how to cry

In my other life, I worked hard to make a living
I gave up my recklessness, and vowed never, to give in
In my other life, I was married and had children
There broke me down and made me, what I am

They showed me roads that men seldom travel
They taught me things can work only if, you try
That losing could mean your really winning
They showed me sorrow, and taught me, how to cry

In my other life, I was drawn to the Truth and His resurrection
I confessed my sins, by faith believed and made Him, my Lord
In my other life, I learned to die to self and surrender
Conviction broke me down; the Blood made me, what I am

He showed me a narrow road men seldom travel
He gave me grace to change, in the Sweet, by and by
That losing could mean your really winning
He showed me His love, the price He paid, the reason why

He showed me His love, the price He paid, the reason why

Your magic’s work’n on me

2009-01-26T06:07:00.007-05:00

You know darling,
So full of missing you right now
I just had to fill up my eyes with your beauty today
So I could make it thru somehow
Oh it’s a cry’n shame
For both of our hearts to have to bleed
Oh you not in my arms
And me not to be graced by your needs

I should be holding you, right now
Getting lost in your ecstasy
I should be loving you, right now
Kissing you, oh so passionately
Oh woman, your magic’s work’n on me

You know darling,
You’re always on my mind
Tug’n on my ole heart strings
To hear your voice on the telephone
Oh what happiness that brings
I’m hoping and I’m pray’n
You’re feeling the same way too
Oh woman, I think I’ve fallen for you

I should be holding you, right now
Getting lost in your ecstasy
I should be loving you, right now
Kissing you, oh so passionately
Oh woman, your magic’s work’n on me

Oh woman, your magic’s work’n on me

Losing could mean your really winning!

I began this gift of expression of poetry in motion at a young age. I sang in the youth Church choirs, played the cornet in band at school. Then in my early teens begin to write poems & lyrics to songs. I nearly had them constructed in a way that musical theory and arrangement was all that was left to do in order to hear them.

I wanted a guitar when I turned 16, but my Mother did not want me to play it. She feared I'd turn out like my Father. Who I never met until I was 17. His playing in the bars, led to many temptations and he took them. He had a woman in every port, was how they put it. But they always complimented him on his talent, and how he could play a Sax.

I spent my youth going to Church on Sundays until Mom couldn't hold me anymore. Then I chased girls, partied and did drugs through High School. After school I left Indiana every now and then to see some of the places I wanted to see. Like California & Florida, I had a good job in Palm Springs in 78-79, in Daytona I nearly starved. Each place I seem to find the best of drugs to consume though. Then I'd head back to Indiana, when I felt I worn out my welcome.

Held a few jobs in Indiana until the 80's went bad on that and forced me into the Army. Where I finally got weaned off of the smoke and extras for about 10 years. And finally thought I'd settle down and got married my last 2 years in service. And one thing that never stopped in me through them times was the song lyrics just coming in my head for ideas and I would write them down.

When I was getting ready to ETS from the Armed Services. I was talking with 2 other friends I had made during my stay in Fort Sill OK. Don Halstrom was going to try out for a Yankee farm club, John Baker of Ohio still had 2 years to go. But he asked me what did I want to do when I got out, I said I always wanted to play guitar and sing, maybe I'll get in a band. I told them I always write these songs but never have them to music, might try and sell some, who knows.

Well, I did finally learned some guitar. I bought one in 1989 and was in a band in 1991, singing. I had two children by then and my first night out, I had found out that day I had diabetes. I was 135 pounds the same weight I was when I joined the Army in 1980. Life began to turn hard physically and mentally and in relationships.

My wife (Martha) left me in November of 91 the divorce took 2 years to get through. We had been married nearly 10 years. Lawyers, a greedy soon to be Ex-wife, and a broken man. Dealing with the loss of two kids I loved so deeply and was so close too. My kids were used as a exchange method for the Ex to use against me to gain more money. That was a heart piercing hurt and anger I found very hard to cope with.

It broke me down and later turned me wicked and spiteful and wanting. But the first step dropped me to my knees spiritually. I found Jesus and got saved, then here came Satan. Unstable in my faith and love for the Lord. He had me for lunch. Which is another story I'll leave on my other blog.

In 92 things started to bloom in my interest in music. I had some years of learning right on stage in performing and singing. Singing just came natural to me I hit the pitch and was where I was suppose to be in the song. Then I had the style that kept the folks coming out on the weekends. The song writing begin to take off after I had recorded a few demo's with my Dad. Our relationship began after I met him in 1977 and I was there singing "Peace in the Valley" over his grave site the day we laid him to rest in June of 97.

The writing and recording ended up with just me putting everything together after awhile. I'd learned enough about song structure and arrangement and recording. And got the things I needed to record them by myself. Where I lacked in talent on guitar, I found other ways to insert the music side of the song. I managed the best I could. Always tried to improve and never threw anything away. I recorded some bad ones as well as I did some good ones.

The song writing consumed me, the lyrics would haunt me in my sleep. The whole sound and rhyming scheme would just sing in my head and keep me awake until I'd get up. Then either write it down or sing it into a small tape recorder. Many times I would get lazy and not go all the way with the idea. Then try to recover it later and lose the whole thing. But I'd just be haunted again later by something different. Getting messed up drinking and smoking dope would slow it down and many times that's what happened after about 1996. After 96 I went off the deep end, until the end of 2003.

I took everything the music provide for me in desires from 1993 until 2000. The diabetes worked me over pretty good too, I drank when I was playing a gig. Kept that as a practice then added the reefer during 96 and it became pretty chronic like it had been in my youth.

I tried to press into the song writing business in pitching some songs and talent contest. I was heard over the radio and performed on TV during this period of late 94 and early 95. I had remarried and the songwriting was going nowhere but consuming all my spare time. I felt it was hurting my new marriage and the band playing on every weekend. So I dropped out of the Country Classics after a 4 year run to hope to save my marriage. I was to late, my wife (Karen) said afterwards what had happened was I had quit dreaming.

The ending of that one that lasted but one year, wrecked me inside big time. I had hoped, went back to the Lord and still managed to even mess that up. I got mad at Him then, left and traveled with a hardened heart and wrecked what relationship I had with my kids. I gave up on fighting with their Mother over things and let her just win. I quit battling for them and became what she thought and told them I was all along.

My songwriting began to change then, I formed another band. Alibi took off with a blaze. Then the drugs hit some of the members and some tempers flared and snuffed it out. I was still writing and recording, then doing a one man gig. All along I was just holding on to a job I had worked at for 13 years. That job consumed 60 hours a week during them 13 years. Add that to the rest of this mix, I was pressing myself thin and the diabetes was winning inside me the whole time.

I quit pitching the songs and wrote just to write and hear what I had done. It became a release kind of thing for me. I then was recruited by a band that was restructuring named Blue Sage. And what got put together there made for one of the best bands in Northern Indiana. From 1998 until 2000, when the lead guitar player Gordy Reed left, then I left shortly after as well.

I wrote my last song in the summer of 2000, called "What gave me away." Then after a few more events the voices giving me music left. I found it a privilege working with other musicians. I was glad to be a part of what we did together with our talents. Like in everything you have some real good years then the bottom drops out. Your hope is you leave respectfully and without strife.

There was a lot going on down deep in my soul during these years. Heartbroken pain and loss from divorces, diabetes, drugs,, drinking and living reckless. Band break ups, lost jobs, lost loves, one night stands. The continued diving deeper at times in loneliness and sexual sin because of all the abandonment's.

It seemed I did not fail to live out all I had written and or sung. Shattered pride was the leading thing in me that at times made me take things farther. In a loop hole kind of thing to some what even the score inside of me. Losing could mean I was really winning. But the darkness in me tricked me into thinking I needed to really win. It finally broke me down and made me what I am.

Turmoil and trouble I had created continued after Labor Day 2000 when I played my last gig for Blue Sage. I then re-married in August of 2001 and now with a new child and just beginning to be on the backside of 40. I went back to the Lord but not fully surrendered, I watched as the drug war front passed thru me and my wife, until it almost destroyed our young marriage. I stayed unfocused and struggled financially. I tried to get out of the debt I found myself in, but the drugs were the biggest cause.

My back and forth times with God were coming to a close. My disobedience and unrepented sins and lifestyle were becoming a revelation to me. The pressing of the devil to destroy me as if he was collecting a debt, plagued me. While the weight of my fornication's and wickedness made me look in the mirror and see what I had become.

My eyes became opened and my heart realized my emptiness. The Voice of Truth was ringing inside me. I had a Godly sorrow for my forsaking my Father in Heaven. A shame for sinning against my Lord Jesus and vain fully turning away from what He paid the price for. With my openly fulfilling the lust of the flesh. I felt my eternal damnation was my destination.

I call my coming to the knowledge of the Truth, a 12 year conversion. The Passion of the Christ was out during this time. I went and seen it then a week later on Easter Sunday, April 18th 2004. In a Four Square Gospel Church, called Faith Outreach Center. In tears during a show of hands, at the end of the service.

I lifted mine up and repented of my waywardness and sin. And that Peace that passes all understanding came back in me like it did on November 21, 1991. I then was on my way to a trip of a lifetime, that would freak my weirdness, I totally surrendered to Him, I fought thru the enemies attempts to steal it like before. No doubt he was so strong after me during this process of breaking through.

The Holy Spirit equipped me, I let no leak come in the Armor of God I worn. The acts of obedience empowered the Holy Spirit to move, the war in Heaven, was won. I was baptized in the Holy Ghost, I endured and became born-again. God fixed my life, restored my marriage, delivered my wife (Jody) from addiction. And we have never looked back. Matthew 6:33 was what I did, the reason I backslid, was because I did not do it before. Glory to the Father, thank You, Jesus.

I'm still pressing on, music may be ahead but only for His glory. Some of these songs might open up the things of which I was seeking, then and going through.
