About the Music
First and foremost, most of the music on this site represents me as a producer and writer. I am not always the "artist" per se. Even on my debut CD "A Collection", I focused more on putting together a group of musicians who would enhance my vision.

Never planted or ever tended From the mud comes the rose Never pruned or fertilized And yet the flower grows It worked its way upward Through the rocks and mud Lived months with no water Then drank up after a flood Survived the scorching heat And in the winter it froze But came the spring time Produced a most lovely rose It had the look of velvet And the color of dark blue On the end of its petals Were teardrops made of dew And the smell of its perfume Filled the lonely night air So living alone in an ally It stood so proudly there A young man saw its beauty And started to pick the rose His fingers between the thorns Pulled the flower to his nose He did not pick the flower Instead he just walked away But there he was with a shovel And a pot the following day He carefully dug up its roots And placed it into a lovely pot He gave it some good rich soil Because this rose was not forgot He gave it to his sweetheart And she placed it by the door For everyone that comes to see And it will live in mud no more HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.
