What people are saying:
"It is fun to see someone who can really manipulate an instrument and have a good time doing it. Music is an art, it always has to be branded by the artist and I really enjoyed the way you branded the performance." Wesley Hair, McKinney, TX - Recent audience member & new fan.

FEATURED SONG LYRICS:
Rise Above
Rise, rise above
Rise, rise above
A sense of dignity's a dinosaur
A pleasure cruise, a pleasure cruise is what this life is for
A simple sacrificial act is such a chore
And across the ocean ten year old boys join the war
The hook of hatred that's so easily found
The sentence forming in your mind designed to cut me down
The twisted thought you're thinking to retaliate
The emotional debris moving down the interstate
The evil seeping out of every crack
The dripping smile that drips with blood from unborn backs
The gloved hand doing murder for the average retail price
The death machine offering its free advice
The role-playing quiver in the preachers' breath
The tender faith they wanna take and manipulate to death
The truth of christ some try to pimp like it's their whore
The embarrassment silencing the lions' roar
The woman drunk on spite and maternal sarcasm
The one recording every favor ever done in a righteous spasm
The invisible thread, the required gift, the connected lure
The love I feel is missing whenever I'm with her
The stupid things I do so much I can't keep track
The stupid things I say and what I'd pay to take them back
The stupid things that I bought and I can't afford
The stupid voices telling me that I need more
Hello Fellow Texan, so good to know that youtube can work like that. Dig your music vibe too. I'll search a out a show of yours next time I come around. Thanks!
For Music stuff, I think myspace is still the best place (with the Calendars and music you can listen to of local artists), but for friends/social, it seems like everything has gone to facebook.
