God has a plan, Or is it me, man?

Roses Song in a key that's wrong but you'll still hum along

Way back in ’92-’93 I made the songwriters-in-the-round circuit in Nashville. Yeah, the one in Tennessee. And about 10 years ago, I shared a quick story about one of those nights when I sang a roses song. This is how … Read the rest

Tulsa time and a song to dance to all night long
