DANG GOOD LOOKIN' AN' PURELY TALENTED WORDSMITHIN' AN PLAYIN' AND SINGIN'
I was born on April 23,1976 in Baltimore, Maryland where I lived until the age of three. We moved to Nashville , Tennesse where I spent my Elementary and Jr. High School years writing songs and being exposed to many of the greatest musicians and performers in the world. When my parent’s passed away in a car accident , I went on to live with my Grand-dad in a little village in Eireland There I was enraptured by the finest music and musicians in the world. I spent time with an Aunt in Liverpool where I again was exposed to great English Folk Music and awesome Rock n’ Roll ! After finishing school I was 21 and returned “ across the pond “ to my home and country AMERICA ! It wasn’t long before I began singing in Cover Bands to support myself. I , of course, desired to do my own songs and either Solo or with Original bands , I began performing throughout the U.S. and abroad. I have been able to support myself adequately through music and I never had a desire to do any other thing! I have fans in every state in America and in Ireland, England, Germany, Amsterdam , and Italy. I am highly respected by my Peers who also happen to be some of my most Ardent fans and purchasers. It is my greatest desire that my label supports me On a tour to perform for our troops in the Middle-East and all over the world. Oh yes , and I would love to play for the wonderful folks in Japan someday !

Story behind the song
YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE ME
Lyrics
My boots are filled with desert sand , it’s hot as hell all day And though we’re here to lend a hand , they kill us anyway It ain’t my job to understand , I keep my questions to myself I’m prayin’ we’ll all get home soon , I miss my baby and my wife… Then I see the man in black , shinin’ in a ring of fire He tells me don’t you worry son you’re gonna win the day… It’s THE AMERICAN WAY…..it’s THE AMERICAN WAY She cries herself to sleep at night , come day she keeps it strong A yellow ribbon ‘round the tree , she keeps the porch-light on All she’s got is this old farm….another baby’s on the way She needs her man back in her arms and she prays for it everyday… Then she sees the man in black , shinin’ in a ring of fire He tells her don’t you worry ma’am you’re gonna win the day… It’s THE AMERICAN WAY…..it’s THE AMERICAN WAY… It’s JOHNNY CASH’S WAY …… thank you JOHNNY This one’s for you……from AMERICA…….with LOVE……..
