What is music to you? What does it give you?

Music is my escape from the real world and all of it's problem. I can get lost in Music and be in that place we all dream of where it is peaceful and the problems of the day fade way. I can't say I like all music but I find that there are a lot of talent out in the world and not all of it is being heard.

What is your music dream?

My dream, well I hope to be remembered when I'm gone. Maybe if I'm lucky my music will still be heard and enjoyed.

If you could change the world - what would you start with?

The people believing in one Race "Human" . We are so separated by colors that we can't see passed it. In music I find that a persons color doesn't have anything to do with their talent or the way they feel when performing, just the spark of themselves they hand us as they sing or play the music they enjoy. I guess I'd start with doing away with labels.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

This diamond ring, I learned it and sang it with a band at the fair for talent night.

Elvis, Conway, Johnny, and Jerry Lee can't leave out Carl Perkins or my Family the Parish Brothers.
