::RED LETTER DAY:: Up beat, southern gospel (with a groove) song, with sax to boot. Celebration of the 'security of the believer' talked about in the tenth chapter of John.

::HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM:: My answer to the 'King Is Coming'. This song was inspired after hearing Phil Cross in Nashville, one day, wondering out loud to several of us, what the headlines would read in the USA Today, after the rapture occurred. If you're a fan of or in a southern gospel quartet, you'll like this, and may want to sing it! Click Here to To Hear 'Houston, We Have A Problem'

::SHAKE, RATTLE, & (FILL THE) ROLL::This is a fun song to perform. Tom Jackson (well known performance coach) saw me perform it in Dallas, and was really into it. It's a story song, starting off with Bob Dylanish lyrics, and finishing with a 'h,f, & b' sermon. Pastor's are fond of this song. Click here to Hear 'Shake, Rattle, & (Fill The) Roll'

::GOD'S HEAVEN:: (The Witness Song) Question and answer song. If you've ever knocked on someone's door to invite 'em to church, or to witness, this song will ring abell. It's a fun song to act out with another performer. I've written a youth musical and this song is a fun part of it. I'm looking for a real strong youth choir to premiere it.

::CAN'T TAKE MY JOY AWAY::Major aerobics song. The perfect five minute work out. You'll be happy and tired when you're finished! The people I talk about in this song are taken directly from John MacArthur's 'Profile of an Apostate' found in his study Bible in the book of Jude (and a few personal experiences).

::SHO SH'D SHO:: Randy Newman, eat your heart out. Kind of a 'CanHeCouldHeWouldHe' song about 'showing up' as Christian. Fun piano. I did some vaudeville stuff when we recorded it that got lost in the mixdown. But there probably was no reason to 'camp it up'. Click here to Hear 'Sho Sh'd Sho' at GospelSinging.com

::SERVANT'S PRAYER (Use Me, Lord):: Definite praise and worship song. Probably belongs in a hymnbook (See Don't Toss The Hymnbook below) due to its A,A,A style. (Pete Butler or Keith Butler, if you're out there, let's get to working on that) Contains my favorite lyric on the whole album, "The wind and sea obey your voice, why can't I behave?"

::GOD'S SHOW:: This turned out to be a great blues song. That wasn't my intent. It started out to be much faster, but when we recorded it, it had that nice blues feel to it. I wasn't sure if I could sing it bluesy enough, so I made the guys record it again, the next day, up tempo. Well, I kind of did a nice 'character' blues voice, and I was pretty pleased with it, so we did the faster version as a reprise. Now you know how that came about.

::BUCKLE UP IN THE BIBLE BELT:: The New English Bible translates Ephesians 6:14 as "Buckle on the belt of truth..." Now I admit, I found this AFTER I came up with the line in the song, however, it was a confirmation of what I felt like was a good call for we Christians to put on the armor of God. Musically, this song rocks, like a Who rock anthem, and Terry Scarberry had fun with his guitar gadgets on this. I really like the minor bridge. Steve Short suggested the Hotel California feel, and it really fit. OKLAHOMA

::HERITAGE:: I don't mean to be a Will Rogers, or Roger Miller, but I love this state (OK). The Oklahoma Heritage Association honored this song this year (1999) as well as Cream Of The Crop (See 'He Knew Me When' CD) in 1995, and I enjoy being an ambassador for this state. (Frank, are you listening?) Actually, Governor Keating has been real supportive of my Okie music, as has State Legislator Keith Leftwich. I keep not-so-subtlely hinting to the Governor to make 'Cream Of The Crop' the state anthem (not state song... that is and always will be 'Oklahoma' - Rodgers & What-His-Name...Maybe I need to change my name to Roger or Rogers...seems like there's a trend there). Oh, well, I should have brought in a bunch of folks from the Red Earth festival to do some real chants, and what-not, at the end of the song, and I would have if my pockets were deeper.
