“Stressed” is about confronting the everyday negative BS of this world, getting beat down by it and coming out on the positive side.

“Moments” is a nostalgic look at loving moments we remember. Those moments are based on choices that we made at that time. The loving and tender choices become the best memories, ones that bring a smile, and nourish the soul. Love and loving memories are what it’s all about.

Page # 1
With its hard-edged music and conversational spoken-word lyrics, Page # 1 is an experience not to be missed. (Author’s Note: I know we’re all different, but maybe we can all get along. That’s the song.)

Midnight Highway
With its rock edge and storied lyrics, Midnight Highway captures the rhythm of the road. There’s a mysterious, exciting but vulnerable feel to driving down a dark two-lane highway at midnight. Rambling thoughts run through your head. Questions arise and somewhere down the road, maybe a few answers.

With its hard rock drive, straightforward words, and aggressive attitude, the song takes you there, inside the Dragon’s Lair. It’s about reality setting in; taking responsibility for your actions; and doing whatever you have to do, regardless. Welcome to the Dragon’s Lair
Download song: Dragon’s Lair
Through the musical ambiance of a mystic forest, you move down a twisting path toward your castle-in-the-sky dream. You cross the dragon’s lair; you cross his land, where he may appear out of nowhere breathing fire to bring you down or lending his back to fly you higher. The question of which one is always present, but you keep on because the dream is who you are, and your eye is on the castle in the sky.

Cactus Breeze, to me, feels like a life experience. It is a journey across a barren desert. A hot dry wind blows right through you. A feeling, like loneliness, possesses your mind and body, and you know a change is on its way, and hope and trust it will be for the better.

I grew up in Oklahoma where people seem to have an uncommon inner strength. Legend has it that it comes from the iron-rich red clay dirt. A bit of it will give you grit and fortitude. This is a song about that. It’s for you even if you are not from Oklahoma, but especially if you are. Everyone needs a bit of Oklahoma Red Dirt Grit.

Have you ever felt you were just along for the ride, when you suddenly, or finally, realize that someone else is making your life decisions, controlling your life’s direction based on his or her dream with no consideration for yours?
That’s the singer’s position. She’s tired of it, tired of the passenger side. She’s taking her control back and choosing for herself which road she will travel. “Move it on over,” she says, “let me behind the wheel… I’m tired of going along for the ride.” More about the song.

Winds of Change Videos
Ancient cultures thought of wind as the breath of God, divining change, bringing good fortune here, and disaster there, seemingly without reason.
We are blown about by these Winds of Change. We meet that special someone and love comes in like a cool refreshing breeze, soothing and gentle. We take without giving or we give without receiving anything back. When we don’t we feel betrayed. Then love is like the raging wind as it screams past, smothering with the coldness of winter, hiding the promise of spring; it sweeps away the dream and knocks us down to the ground.
Winds of Change is the title song to this theme album about a failed relationship. It asks the question, “How did we get here from there?”

When we look back things seem so clear and simple. Yet they were not at the time.
Many women grew up with the myth that, to be happy, she must await her knight in shining armor, her white knight. Someday, he would come along and rescue her, prove her worth by loving her perfectly, and unconditionally, and she would be happy ever after.
The song White Knight, the second on the Winds of Change album, represents the initial attraction and infatuation in the relationship. Written from the viewpoint of the story’s young protagonist/singer without considering any looking-back insight.
