This is the Final mix version, however, not mastered yet. But it's a lot better than the rough demo I posted originally. Thanks for listening and bearing with a horrible production of the first..!! Hope you enjoy this version better.

Hi everybody, and thanks for stopping by my Soundclick site..!! It looks as though I am now a legitimate part of "The Back Country Connection" a.k.a.: BCC and proud to be a part of a very unique blend of individuals. Mr. Ray Bertram (my main lyricist) and John Surbaugh, have put their hearts and souls into making the BCC come to life. The BCC is not an actual "band" per say....it is a group of folks from around the world, taking part in projects with each other, be it music, video, production or writing. I am personally a writer and producer. Not being seasoned enough to write lyrics strong enough to embark on a run at "mainstream" success, I happened to run into these folks at the Songwriter101 forum. It's a forum dedicated to singers and songwriters who converge from all around the world looking to network with each other to help get their music heard, and/or talents out there, and follow their dreams. It's a wonderful site and I have been blessed with meeting some of the most incredible people I have ever had the privilege to know. They have all helped me SO MUCH through some recent difficult times, and I could never thank them all enough..!! They all know who they are..!! Anyway, I will post my music as I finish. I don't have the greatest voice on the planet, especially after singing 7 straight hours...lol....but I'll do the best I can for you to give you an idea of my writing style and where I am at..!! For the most part I write in a Country-pop genre, sometimes it goes Southern Rock influenced, and occassionally Alternative Country..!! I just never know what's gonna pop out..!! Thank you for stopping by....and please feel free to comment on anything you like...or dislike....If you are also a writer and feel you may be interested in a co-writing collaboration, please feel free to contact me. I am always looking for new and exciting ways to express myself..!! Meanwhile, while helping the BCC, I will embark on my own thing here, and try to keep things as up-to-date as possible, adding songs as frequently as possible and keeping everyone abreast of new developments with the BCC...chao..!! Thank You. Regards, Stephen Paul Cupo Singer/Songwriter Ok....time to post The Music City Star....again a very rough demo..with lyric written by my very good friend Ray Bertram and he collaborated with Jesse Blackwell...who I have not had the opportunity to meet...or thank yet.....graet job by both..!! They really make it easy for me to come with a music production and arrangement because of their combined talents...hat's off to both of you..!! Hope you enjoy....I think it has a ZZ Top feel to it..!!! lol

Story behind the song
My lyric writer Ray Bertram wrote this for Father's Day 2008 in honor of his late dad Charles Bertram. It was such a heartfelt lyric i had to ask him if he minded if I took a stab at putting music to it..?? Of course he said "go for it" and this is the result. Having lost my dad recently (2005) it really pays tribute to a friend and mentor lost.
Lyrics
If He Could See Me Now (Verse 1) My father passed away When I was only ten But I can still recall The dad he was back then He was larger than life I was his biggest fan He loved me so much... I thought he was Superman (Chorus) If my father saw me now I wonder what hea€™d say About the life Ia€™ve lived The man I am today I still follow in his footsteps Do the best I know how I wonder what hea€™d say If he could see me now (Verse 2) Ia€™ve done the best I could To do just like he did Be a husband for my wife A father for my kids I work hard and treat folks The best that I know how What would my father say If he could see me now (Chorus) If my father saw me now I wonder what hea€™d say About the life Ia€™ve lived The man I am today I still follow in his footsteps Do the best I know how I wonder what hea€™d say If he could see me now (Bridge) Ia€™ve stumbled...Ia€™ve fallen... But I got this far somehow I wonder what dad would say If he could see me now (Chorus) If my father saw me now I wonder what hea€™d say About the life Ia€™ve lived The man I am today I still follow in his footsteps Do the best I know how I wonder what hea€™d say If he could see me now a€œIf He Could See Me Nowa€ © 2008, by W.
