Artist picture
I am an independent writer/performer/producer making summery sounds with lots of harmony, guitars, and emotion.
Brian Wilson said of his epic work Pet Sounds, "I wanted to make the listener feel loved." Those words have always remained with me and I hope to share loving, healing sounds with the listener as well.

Story behind the song
My unfulfilled dream to be a recording artist. It is a humorous biography of my teenage dreams and middle aged foolishness.
Lyrics
Number One in the Nation Words and music by Johnny Proctor Number One in the nation It’s the latest sensation Call your radio station Number one in the nation Wait till after school ‘til I get my fix Turn tables rock a California mix Sing along with Jan & Dean just for kicks Dreaming someday I might be Number One in the nation It’s the latest sensation Call your radio station Number one in the nation Cutting grass, pumping gas, cramming for tests Building up a mountain of teenage stress Saying prayers, heaven cares I need to be blessed Praying someday I might be I feel so small, feel I’m not here at all With a hit record I’d be ten feet tall Number One in the nation It’s the latest sensation Call your radio station Number one in the nation Looking back on the days I held that dream Life didn’t turn out the way it seemed Deep down inside I still see the gleam On a shiny silver platter that reads Number One in the nation It’s the latest sensation Call your radio station Number one in the nation © 2002 Old Sarge Music

I KNOW that I rated this one..but then others that I KNOW I'd rated; somehow disappeared along the way. Ah well, so I will rate again; as someone once said "GRRR Computers and Internet!" LOL!! Every one of your songs are uplifting, Johnny, and this one is NO exception. :D
