Prov. 31:10-12
An excellent wife, who can find?
For her worth is far above jewels.
The heart of her husband trusts in her,
And he will have no lack of gain.
She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
Psalm 127:3 Behold, children are a gift of the LORD;
The fruit of the womb is a reward.

All the songs I have written are about my memories and actual life experiences. The "best" example of this I have is from a past experience I had below. Some of the songs I wrote about this are mentioned below and are posted on my "Original Songs" page located at the top of this page.
And so it begins...
As I continued down my musical career, I thought it would be a good idea to actually record a couple of my songs and make a record and try to get the radio stations to play my songs.
It was during this time that I met someone that I wish I never met. This gal "acted" sincere to me and was into music like me. I thought we had it all like the Bogie & Bacall song, "Key Largo". I thought she was a good gal that I could trust and count on but
"I was so wrong". She was bad, I didn't know it. Her big smile never showed it. This "happy time?" in my life inspired me to write the songs, "Summertime In Our Lives", "My Woman Is Mine" and "Cos' You Know" that are posted on my above "Original Songs" page.
Then suddenly in 1979 my Mom started to get sick and had to be admitted into the hospital. Things then started to fall apart for me. I couldn't handle this. I was very upset and confused and lost direction of my life and didn't care about anything. The gal didn't care what I was going through and she wasn't there when I needed her help through this.
I decided to push forward with my recording plans because my Mom would have wanted that so I went into the recording studio for the very first time and I recorded two of my songs. The first of my original songs that I recorded was recorded in 1981 called “Love’s Little Heartaches” and "It Can Happen Anytime Of The Day". A lot of work, money and effort went into this project with no success. I remember stopping by my home town radio station WICC in Connecticut and talking to WICC and being given a very difficult time when I asked if WICC would play my record even though I had performed at numerous fund raising events through the years that their radio station was also apart of.
I also remember radio station WDJZ in Connecticut that was run by Frank Derak who knew me from some of the fund raising events I had performed at. He was very kind to me and played my record often on WDJZ radio.
As bad as everything was already going for me at that time in my life because I was worried about my Mom, I was performing at the Klein Memorial Auditorium in Connecticut. After I performed I was backstage and I was introduced to a crazy gal who wanted to meet me by her boyfriend who was supposed to marry her. She started stalking me for two months. Somehow she found out where I lived and started stopping at my home late at night and would shout out on my porch and she wouldn't leave until I let her into my house to talk to her. I talked to her for about 20 minutes about her boyfriend problems then she'd leave. She would just stop by once every couple weeks and I didn't know what to do to make her stay away from me. If I knew about restraining orders I would have had her arrested. One night when she stopped at my house her boyfriend followed her. It was good to finally see him again. I told him that his girl was harassing me and she broke up my relationship. She said she was trying to get him jealous. He said they're both moving back to Texas to get married. Never saw her again. Good riddance!
The gal I was seeing actually became "jealous" of the stalker and was very unfair to me I got no help or advice from her on how to get rid of the stalker but I got "all" the blame for the stalker being there. I wrote the song "Are You Still Mine" because "she then started treating me very badly and was cheating on me"
Her girl best friend called me one night. I asked her how did she get my number? She said from my business card that she had and then said that my gal doesn’t know that she’s calling me but wanted me to know that she and my gal are out on a date with two guys and if I drove to the diner by my house that I would see my gal there with another man. She laughed then hung up. When I got to the diner I found her with another man. She got very mean and nasty to me because I actually saw her with another man cheating on me. I wanted to take her home but the "slut" refused to come with me and told me that she was going home with him. I'd be at home and she would be out whoring around with other guys. You can see that I included what happened at the diner in my song, "Hey Joe, I'm Joe" along with a few other things that happened from then in this song that I have posted on my above "Original Songs" page.
