Take Me Back: Locals say that once you visit the Florida Keys you get the ‘Key’s Disease.’ You just can’t wait to go back and I wrote about that feeling. Back to the Island: It’s about getting back to your essence-to a good place in your life and relationships. Boo Hoo: I was thinking about single parents, especially single Moms who raised wonderful daughters, turning little girls into beautiful young ladies, and sacrificing so much to do it.” Broken Love Songs: This is a traditional blues song that sings about lost love and life. Fly Away: It’s a good old fashioned country love song. Its finding love and the uplifting feeling that goes with it. Cloudy Moon: I wrote this on my birthday on June 5, looking at the Super moon. I was inspired by Plato who said that ‘Divine madness comes from above.’ I really love how Michele Benson sings it. I’m Going Fishing: Some say this song reminds them of the Kinks. It’s a nod to our wonderful environment and the great efforts of our fishermen to keep it that way. What’s more beautiful than our oceans and waters? I Surrender: It’s not about giving up but giving room in your life to empowerment by releasing your ego. It’s the recognition of a higher power than your self. I’m Going Home: Simply, a song for our troops in far off lands. I’m always thinking of those men and women who sacrifice so much for us. Ray of Hope: When a very close friend of mine committed suicide I felt the need to write about it. It’s vital that people know and use the Suicide Prevention Hot Line. It saves lives. Forgiveness: It’s the hardest thing to give-especially to yourself. You cannot forgive anybody else until you forgive yourself. Forgiving those who have hurt us is a true act of love.
